Race Fans Invited to Vote on Favorite Design Starting Jan. 11
Race fans will soon be able to show off their auto racing pride every
time they open their wallet. As the Official Bank of Daytona
International Speedway® and the DAYTONA 500®, Fifth Third Bank will soon
offer fans the new Daytona International Speedway Debit Card.
Fans are invited to come along for the ride and help select the best
design for the debit card. They can race to 53.com/racing from Jan.
11-25 to view four unique designs and vote for their favorite. The
winning card design will be announced prior to Speedweeks®, which runs

Fifth Third is once again proud to partner with Roush Fenway Racing as a
primary sponsor of Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.’s No. 17 Ford Fusion this year.
Stenhouse captured his first two Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series™ wins
while sporting the Fifth Third paint scheme during the 2017 season. His
second win was the CokeZero 400® at Daytona International Speedway in
July. Some of the debit card designs fans can vote for include the No.
17 Fifth Third car.
"We’re proud to partner with Fifth Third Bank on this unique opportunity
to create a Daytona International Speedway Debit Card,” speedway
President Chip Wile said. “Daytona International Speedway is a special
place to race fans as the home of ‘The Great American Race®’ – the
DAYTONA 500. We look forward to seeing the winning card design that will
showcase the world’s only motorsports stadium.”
“We are excited to give motorsports fans another fun way to express
their loyalty and affinity for the place where so many great races and

About the Daytona International Speedway
Daytona International Speedway is the world’s only motorsports stadium

Though the season-opening Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series event garners
most of the attention – as well as the largest audience in motorsports –
the approximately 500-acre motorsports complex, also known as the “World
Center of Racing,” boasts the most diverse schedule of racing on the
globe. In addition to at least nine major event weekends, the Speedway
grounds are also used extensively for events that include concerts,
civic and social gatherings, car shows, photo shoots, production vehicle
testing and police motorcycle training.
