Androse Bell of The Daytona Beach Hard Rock Hotel- the official hotel of the event- says fans started booking rooms for the event as soon as it was announced.
Bell says those fans are booking from all over the world, and he expects the 200+ room hotel to be full for the weekend.
“It’s really good again for our market and our local businesses,” Bell said. “To get exposed to people who haven’t really come to Daytona from states that don’t really travel here.”
