What is a car doing on a beach?
Americans too fat to walk from the carpark to the beach.
I'd say that as if it was a joke but it appears to be what happened here.
Why the fuck would you allow vehicles onto the beach in the first place to drag their oily bullshit up on the sand
Daytona has a long racing history that goes back to before the speedway was there. Back then they used to race on the beach because it's long, straight, and flat. That's where the tradition of driving on the beach comes from and it's considered part of the local culture and a defining aspect of that part of Florida. That's why there is so much resistance to getting rid of it.
