Start your engines and head over to Full Force Dance Academy at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, to see the official Daytona International Speedway Pace Car as it pays a visit to Minneola’s favorite new dance studio.

Full Force Dance Academy opened its doors in March 2021, and its young owner, Paige Grimes, quickly grabbed the attention of the Speedway folks as they were planning for the Welcome Back Weekend festivities surrounding this year’s Coke Zero Sugar 400, which will be held later this month. At only 19 years old, Paige is a talented, bright new business owner in Minneola, so it’s no wonder people miles away in Daytona got excited about her confident, adventurous spirit and wanted to include her dancers in their race weekend activities.

Visitors to FFDA can check out the Official Pace Car, during the dance academy’s Open House Saturday. Full Force Dance Academy is located at 540 S US Hwy 27 Unit B in Minneola, FL 34715.
