DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Now that the 51st Daytona 500 is a soggy memory and winner Matt Kenseth has made the most of his media trip to New York as the winner of NASCAR's biggest race, it's time to look ahead to the rest of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida --When the green flag drops for the Daytona 500, fans in the grandstands and those watching on television won't notice whether teams tested in the offseason or not. They will see the same type of racing they have come to expect in NASCAR's biggest race. And because of that, NASCAR should make its offseason testing ban permanent for years to come.
A man who faked his drowning death nearly 20 years ago off a Florida beach was found out by North Carolina police who stopped him for a traffic violation, authorities said Thursday.
The distraught grandfather of slain Florida toddler Caylee Anthony sent his family and friends text messages saying he "did not want to live anymore and that he wanted to be with Caylee," according to a police report.
A father and son who tread water for more than 12 hours in the Atlantic Ocean before being rescued spent much of the time in the dark seas not knowing if the other was alive, authorities said Monday.

Relentless wildfires burned Tuesday morning across Florida's Atlantic coast, taxing firefighters and overwhelming residents trying to save their homes with garden hoses
BRISTOL, Tenn. -- There is a formula used to determine when Easter Sunday falls each year, but many of us aren't smart enough to figure it out without looking at the calendar.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The Daytona 500 has grown dramatically since its first race in 1959, when drivers such as the legendary Junior Johnson drove into the track for the first time and simply couldn't believe its massive size.
In the beginning... it was the age before computer simulations and seven-post shaker rigs; before spoilers and terms such as aerodynamic tinkering; and before Daytona International Speedway was even a glint in Bill France Sr.'s eye. For heaven's sake, it was even the age before fire suits -- driver Fonty Flock occasionally wore Bermuda shorts behind the wheel. Conceived on the beach and raced in the sand, NASCAR marked its first dozen years with colorful, hard-charging characters and stock cars that were really and truly stock. Drivers often raced in the cars they drove to the track, and much of the money they won was plowed into getting their ride ready for the next week's event. Things don't get much more grassroots than that.
Government forecasters minimally reduced their prediction for the Atlantic hurricane season Thursday, saying up to nine hurricanes and up to 16 tropical storms are expected to form

Walking along a pier in Daytona Beach with their youngest grandson on a recent Saturday afternoon, Steve and Carol Daimler stopped to see what fish the locals were catching. The fishermen wowed 10-year-old David with a big flounder they'd just landed and photos of a 500-pound, nine-foot shark they'd once caught.
This is not about baseball. Or, rather, it's about so much more than baseball. When Jackie Robinson took America by the collar 60 years ago and shook it for all it was worth, he did it on a baseball field, yes. But why he did it, how he did it, the era in which it took place -- and, of course, that he did it at all -- are infinitely more important than where it happened. Then and now, the act itself was much bigger than the stage. None of us should ever forget that.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Six years ago on the closing lap of the Daytona 500 Richard Childress, NASCAR and all NASCAR fans suffered the biggest loss in the history of the series due to the tragic death of Dale Earnhardt. Childress seriously questioned giving up.
A wildfire that threatened hundreds of homes in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, dissipated overnight and by Monday afternoon was "basically contained," said Mike Brouilette, spokesman for the city's police department.
Of all the medication errors," says Joel Osborne, the president of ForHealth Technologies in Daytona Beach, Fla., "perhaps 17% can be attributed to dispensing errors"--wrong vial, wrong patient's n...
I'm willing to bet that most real estate investors have a blind spot. Call it a prejudice. You focus on buying close to large population centers, big employers and the best schools.
Hurricane Frances, a Category 4 storm, continued its path toward the Bahamas on Wednesday, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida.
One thing is clear from the last-minute tax-preparation questions I've received: Aging baby-boomers are starting to come into inheritances--big and small--and, having barely mastered the realm of 1...
The trend toward shorter but sweeter trips (see Travel Wise, June 1990) is going strong -- three or fewer nights was the average for more than 50% of 1989 vacations. Add that demand to the slowdown...
