- Streamline_Hotel abstract "The Streamline Hotel, located in Daytona Beach, Florida, is the recognized birthplace of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). NASCAR founder Bill France, Sr. and numerous drivers, officials, and promoters gathered in the Ebony Club (now the Penthouse Club) on the roof of the hotel on December 14, 1947 that ended on February 21, 1948 with the formation of NASCAR. The meeting concerned various issues such as drivers failing to get paid due to promoters leaving races with the gate receipts before they ended, along with the lack of consistent rules. After three days, the meeting created the National Stock Car Racing Association (NSCRA), but was renamed to NASCAR after it turned out that there was another sanctioning body by that name. The Penthouse that NASCAR was founded in today is now a gay bar. NASCAR's first offices were located three blocks away from the hotel, while the Daytona International Speedway is located six miles west of the hotel.The mint green-painted Art Deco-themed hotel opened in 1940, and is a four-story building located on the west side of Road A1A, which was once used as the Daytona Beach Road Course. A plaque located outside the building proclaims that the hotel is the first building in Daytona Beach to be fireproof, and was also considered as the city's first bomb shelter. The Streamline Hotel also is the oldest standing hotel in Daytona Beach. The hotel has later grown more decrepit through the years, such as rusty walls and sun damage. A police chief once called the building a "den of iniquity." However, the plaque stated that the building was restored by owner Eric G. Doyle. In 2006, Frank Heckman, chairman of the Main Street-South Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Board stated that Daytona Beach expressed interest in purchasing the hotel, potentially converting the building to a NASCAR museum and tourist attraction. $400,000 had reportedly appeared on the board's budget under the "historic preservation" category, which is apparently intended to help restore the hotel. However, Daytona Beach's finance director denied any knowledge of the funds. The building has also been used as a youth hostel and a retirement home owned by an evangelist who claimed to have ministered Elvis Presley. In 2011, Zetta Baker, one of the founders of the Victory Lane Racing Association (VLRA), an organization that helps racing families in need, announced at the group's annual meeting that they would purchase the building; however, the deal fell through. In 2014, however, it was announced that the hotel had been sold to Pevonia International heir Eddie Henessey, who planned to renovate it into a "South Beach style boutique inn".".
