Daytona: The world's only motorsport stadium - Roadshow

Those wanting to see the production version of the cars racing out on the track can check out the Chevrolet and Toyota injectors. The Sunoco injector celebrates NASCAR victories, and the injector for Florida Hospital is all about how you can lead a healthier life.

Of all the injector sites, Toyota's was my favorite. Not only does it have a permanent ride and drive course, where I scared both the Toyota representative and my producer by taking a 2016 4Runner over a 31-degree ascent on a dirt hill without lifting at the top, the neighborhood is full of interactive experiences. There's a Toyota Camry that banks to 31 degrees while you sit in it, giving you an idea of what the drivers feel on the track, a photobooth that tus your headshot into a bobble-head NASCAR racer on a big screen, and a large interactive touchscreen telling the story of the Toyota brand across the US.

Sunoco also has a few cool ways to pass the time. You can make a sign for your favorite driver, watch a 360-degree video of iconic victory celebrations, and even film your own winning moment, complete with checkered flag. You'll have to bring your own champagne.

Florida Hospital takes fans through the healthy ways drivers and crew prepare for the physical demands of being on a NASCAR team and has a pretty swank LCD ceiling that displays the skyline of different seasons. It's a neat way to relax amid the roar of the engines.

These three injector sites are so interactive and fan-friendly, it's a wonder Chevrolet didn't want to join in the fun. Its site consists merely of some aftermarket part displays and cars from its 2016 lineup. It's always great to get up close and personal with the new Corvette, but compared with the tech and social-media heavy neighborhoods of the other sponsors, Chevy comes off as lackluster.

How suite it is

For those wanting a premium experience, the new Daytona stadium offers a myriad number of box suites. These will mostly likely be rented out to corporate bigwigs, but Daytona will have over 300 individual tickets for sale that include access to outdoor seats, a patio and the very swanky Rolex lounge. Food and drink is included, naturally.

And for all you infielders, never fear. As much as Daytona has modeized the fan experience, it didn't want to marginalize what is probably its most die-hard group of fans. You can still bring your RV and watch the race while cracking open a cold one with your buddies.

But what is a new motorsports stadium without a new app? Perhaps the coolest feature of the app is tu-by-tu navigation within the stadium and the entire complex. So if you're jonesing for Pappa John's pizza but can't remember which level it's on, just tu on the app. You can also mark your parking, grab the race schedule and be notified of any happenings at that day's event in real time. There's even a fun little postcard, which will frame your selfie or picture of the track in one of three photo frames, perfect for posting to Facebook. Alas, they're not Instagram-friendly.

While the app has potential, I downloaded it during my tour and it seems to be a little buggy. It crashed my iPhone 5S upon download and then froze up on me entirely. There's also no option on the app to order food and drink to be delivered to your seat, technology that is available at other sports venues.

The Wi-Fi was pretty solid while I was there, but the stadium was far below its capacity of 101,500. What may happen when all those phones start trying to Instagram their experience is yet to be seen.

Digital dashboard

Just as fans are getting an upgraded experience, so are the drivers. While racing technology usually trickles down to us mere mortals in production vehicles, here it seems NASCAR is following on the heels of Audi's virtual cockpit with its own digital dashboard.
