Spirit of Daytona

Since inception, the mission of Spirit of Daytona has been to create a high profile and professional race car team and automotive facility to assist the ultimate car enthusiast with their hot rod, street tuner or racecar. Spirit of Daytona was founded in 1987 when Troy Flis and his brother began competing in club-racing events with their Volkswagen. Troys love for turning cars into speeding, streamlined racing machines soon became a small business and after numerous wins on the club-racing circuit he turned professional in 1999 with the beginning of the Grand American Rolex Series. Spirit of Daytona has grown tremendously since Troys club-racing days and now encompasses a two-car Daytona Prototype effort, a fleet of three Pontiac GTOs which compete in the Grand-Am Cup Series, an 8,000 square foot preparation and race shop facility, a staff of eight full-time employees and five part-time employees. www.spiritofdaytona.com
