The inaugural Bike Week took place in 1937 in Daytona Beach, Florida, and it was a far cry from the vibrant celebration seen today. At that time, the Daytona 200 motorcycle race was hosted on a 3.2-mile stretch of beach and roadway. Ed Kretz from California triumphed on his Indian motorcycle, with around 15,000 spectators in attendance. Currently, this renowned event draws nearly half a million attendees each year to honor their passion for motorcycle culture.

A1A, the picturesque coastal road of Florida, creates a continuous atmosphere of Bike Week, making it feel like an everlasting celebration. The 2025 Daytona Beach Bike Week spanned an extensive 10 days, beginning on Friday, February 28, and concluding on March 9.
Riders of all generations and backgrounds unite to cruise along the scenic A1A during Bike Week. The distinctive sounds of motorcycles echo along Florida’s eastern coastline.

Lisa Lowe first participated in Bike Week in 1996. After relocating from San Diego, California, to Florida in 1999, she has embraced the event as a resident of Daytona Beach for 26 years.
“There was always live music filling the air, and visitors arriving from around the globe,” she recalled.
She reminisced about one particular year during Bike Week when she unexpectedly encountered an old high school friend from San Diego.
Bike Week is renowned for its bustling Main Street, which transforms the small beach town with biker contests, parades, live performances, and street fairs.

“I adore how the small-town vibe of Daytona morphs into this spectacular event overnight,” Lowe expressed.
She shared unforgettable memories from past Bike Weeks, including the time she spotted Michael Jordan cruising on his light blue custom Harley.
Bike culture is deeply rooted in Daytona, with families from Volusia recounting their own Bike Week experiences. Cecelia Lewandowski, a Daytona State student, shares this connection: “My mom used to work as a beer tub girl, and my dad was a bartender for Bike Week, so we’re big Bike Week fans,” she stated.
This year, Bike Week attracted around 500,000 attendees, marking a remarkable surge that hasn’t been experienced in years. It was projected that Bike Week would contribute close to 100 million dollars to the Volusia County economy.
Celebrating its 84th year, this event has played a significant role in shaping the unique atmosphere of the Daytona Beach community.
Leah Pruett took to her Instagram story to share photos alongside her husband, former NASCAR driver Tony Stewart, as they showcased their personalized Harley Davidson. This touring bike was custom-built by Southern Country Customs, a venture owned by fellow ex-NASCAR driver Rusty Wallace and his son, Steve.
Southern Country Customs (SCC) primarily specializes in customizing Harley-Davidson motorcycles, offering bespoke body kits, performance enhancements, and more.
With their mutual passion for speed, derived from their motorsport backgrounds, Pruett and Stewart decided to modify one of their Harleys. Pruett uploaded snapshots of the modified bike on her Instagram stories, capturing Stewart in action. The post reached her 371k followers. It’s noteworthy that Stewart has an estimated net worth of around $90 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
The duo is gearing up for the annual “Bike Week” event at Daytona Beach, Florida, which takes place every year from February 28 to March 9. This gathering serves as a fantastic opportunity for motorcycle enthusiasts to connect and celebrate their shared passion for biking.
Pruett also shared an image of a Bike Week T-shirt boasting a nostalgic 1980s design.
“It’s that time again!” Pruett commented in her story.
Tony Stewart expresses affection for his wife Leah Pruett
Leah Pruett and Tony Stewart exchanged vows in November 2021 after a few months of engagement and dating.
Years into their marriage, their affection for one another remains as strong as ever. Recently, Stewart highlighted an interesting aspect of their relationship. He mentioned that, unlike many husbands who cherish their work as a break from family life, he eagerly anticipates spending quality time with Pruett.
“There are many men who enjoy going to work because it allows them a little time away from their spouses. They love their lives and their wives, but some guys need that distance. For us, we can be around each other seven days a week, and it functions well at the racetrack since we’re both racers,” Stewart conveyed (via Athlon Sports).
Interestingly, he revealed that their dynamic alters once they return home; despite working closely at the racetrack, they often find themselves in separate rooms at home.
“It’s amusing because it’s quite the opposite when we’re at home,” Tony Stewart elaborated. “We tend to spend a significant amount of time in different rooms, but at the racetrack, we’re in sync, aligned in everything, and I truly appreciate our dynamic.”
Pruett has been competing in the NHRA Top Fuel series but has taken a hiatus recently. Initially, this break was due to her pregnancy and has since extended to allow her to devote more time to her child.

MOTÖRHEAD‘s exclusive “Speedfreak” blend is the boldest, most exhilarating coffee you’ll experience, a robust blend that features flavors of Dark Chocolate, Caramel, and Cocoa designed to energize your day (and it has a hint of nuttiness with a fruity surprise!). Ready for a thrill? Hop on!
Concept Cafes shares, “We are genuinely thrilled to play a small role in the legendary MOTÖRHEAD saga and provide some outrageously flavorful coffee to fans across the MOTÖRHEAD realm!

The ‘Speedfreak’ tale plays out like an epic poem about MOTÖRHEAD launching a custom ’75 Chevy Big-Block hot rod engine into the cosmos, only to reemerge as the colossal ‘Speedfreak’ 50 years later, powered by coffee beans of extraterrestrial origin and propelled by the thunderous echoes of Lemmy‘s signature ‘Murder One’ amplifier stack. MOTÖRHEAD‘s ‘Speedfreak’ coffee isn’t just another brew; it’s a lifestyle devoid of limits that embraces motion; if it has wheels, ‘Speedfreak’ will make them burn out!”

About Concept Cafes:
Everyone knows that unforgettable opening riff, the mid-song breakdown, that explosive crescendo that hooked them into Metal for life. Through collaborations with artists like Cannibal Corpse, Max & Iggor Cavalera, and Ministry, we aim to bring fans an unparalleled Metal coffee experience. As passionate fans ourselves, we constantly seek epic Metal moments, whether through records, live shows, or merchandise. Our mission is to contribute to that communal experience, highlighting that these are the artists’ coffee stories, not our own—we merely help shape and deliver their visions to the fans.
We’re committed to offering a unique coffee culture for Metalheads, steering clear of mainstream gimmicks. We are honored every day with the responsibility to work alongside Metal legends, which drives us to explore new possibilities. We believe Metal deserves nothing less than superior coffee!
The reality is that coffee culture has become overly generic in recent decades; dull and diluted from its creative roots that once inspired artists across generations. We’re here to reignite that fire—after all, this is Metal, motorcycles, and horror. What more were you expecting?!
