Dixie Southern Vodka Revs Up for the DAYTONA 500

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., February 13, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​​This weekend, Dixie Southern Vodka’s multi-year partnership as the “Official Vodka of NASCAR” will come to life at the DAYTONA 500. So far this year, more than 2,000 cases have been ordered to meet demand in Florida, which is just a fraction of the national pull that the partnership – which became official on Jan. 1, 2020 – has already generated. NASCAR sanctions more than 1,200 races in 30 U.S. states, as well as in Canada, Mexico, and Europe.

Matti Christian Anttila, founder of Dixie Southern Vodka and CEO of Grain & Barrel Spirits, explains: “Just as NASCAR grew from southern roots into a national sport watched by millions, Dixie Southern Vodka had evolved from regional to national presence. The NASCAR partnership is now accelerating on- and off-premise chain account presence and driving the brand into 25 new states within months. This is just the beginning: stay tuned for our cup race, the Dixie Vodka 400, which on March 22 will commemorate the 25^th anniversary of Homestead-Miami Speedway.”

As the Official Vodka of the DAYTONA 500 and Daytona International Speedway, Dixie will be served at all bars, concession areas, and suites at the Daytona International Speedway, including the Dixie Vodka Filling Station located at the Chevy Injector on the third floor of the track. The official cocktail of racing, the Speedway Cocktail, will debut at the track and be featured at select accounts around Daytona Beach.​
