05/07/2008 00:32. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A slumping economy is being blamed for keeping as many as 30
percent of NASCAR fans away from the Daytona International Speedway
races this Fourth of July weekend. "Normally this place is packed and we know everybody but now I only
see like 20 people I know," a NASCAR race fan said. The Daytona economy counts on the tourist dollars generated from
the Fourth of July races. // Local6.com
