In honor of legendary North Turn Racing driver "Russ Truelove", may we suggest you try our fantastic Prime Rib Sandwich (named in his honor)

It's Slow Roasted & Seasoned Prime Rib, served with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, & Pickle on a Kaiser Roll.
In one word:

"DELICIOUS"

Racing's North Turn sits on the exact location where racing history began in Daytona Beach. The Races took place right here on the beach starting in 1936 until World War II and then continued with the first Grand National Race in 1949.
These great car races ran each year until 1958, when they were relocated to the brand new Super Speedway where today you can witness the thrill of the Daytona 500 or any one of Daytona's famous Races.
Racing's North Turn Restaurant has gone through many changes over the years, but one thing holds firm:
The history of this site is an asset to Volusia County and holds the key to racing's past. As of February 15, 2007, the Ponce Inlet Historic & Archaeological Preservation Board announced that Racing's North Turn will be recognized as a Historic Landmark.




The course started at the North Turn on the pavement of the highway known as Atlantic Avenue (4511 South Atlantic Avenue to be exact). It went south two miles on A1A (parallel to the ocean) to the end of the road, where the drivers accessed the beach at the Beach Street approach (the South Turn), went two miles north on the sandy beach surface, and turned away from the beach at the North Turn. The lap length in early events was 3.2 miles, and it was lengthened to 4.2 miles in the late 1940's.





Sometimes even the most seasoned race fan has to stop for a double take... along with our local Living Legends, it is not uncommon for some of today's stock car drivers to come in and take a seat at the bar. With many of our famous visitors willing to sign an autograph, race week usually requires a permanent marker. Racing's North Turn is proud of our extensive photo library, with many photos donated by some of the most famous racecar drivers and bike racers in history.

At the start of 2007 renovations began on our photo collection. We heard your requests for more, and more we gave you. After weeks of painting, re-framing, and organizing we completed updating our most recent donated car & motorcycle photos. Finding more space on are already packed wall's was a little challenging, but we managed to rearrange some furniture. We are excited to be one of the few establishments to display such treasured bits of racing history, so if you haven't seen us in awhile, come check it out.
