Few venues can boast such a vast history and schedule as Daytona International Speedway. With three different layouts, the self-proclaimed World Center of Racing has kept fan experience at its heart since its conception in the late 1950s.

Daytona has called itself the “World Center of Racing” for many years. It’s not hard to see why: the circuit’s speedway has been a permanent fixture on the NASCAR schedule, the road course and motorcycle layout host regular events and Lake Lloyd, situated in the infield section of the track, has hosted powerboat racing.

The Daytona International Speedway was built in 1959 by NASCAR founder William France, Sr. as a replacement for the Daytona Beach Road Course. The new banked course allowed for higher speeds and better views for fans. The height of the banking led to a much higher budget than expected, but the circuit opened in February 1959, just ahead of the inaugural Daytona 500.

The track has undergone numerous renovations over the years, including a major development in 1998 which saw lights added around the perimeter, making it the third-largest single lit outdoor sports facility in the world. The new lighting allowed it to host NASCAR’s ever-popular Coke Zero 400 race, which takes place each July close to Independence Day. More recently, in 2016, the circuit underwent a $400 million facelift to improve the fan experience.

Among the most high profile events which take place at the circuit are the Daytona 500, which has been held annually in February in every year since the circuit opened, the Daytona 200 motorcycle race, which first took place at the track in 1961, and the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona, which has been held early in the year since 1962.

Daytona International Speedway

Top choice in Daytona Beach

The Holy Grail of raceways has a diverse race schedule. Ticket prices skyrocket for good seats at big races, headlined by the Daytona 500 in February. It's worth wandering the massive stands for free on non-race days. First-come, first-served tram tours take in the track, pits and behind-the-scenes areas, while all-access tours give you a glimpse of media rooms and pit stalls.

The 30-minute Speedway Tour (adult/child $23/13; 11:30am, 1pm, 2pm and 3:30pm) covers the basics. Die-hard rev heads may wish to up the ante with the hour-long All Access Tour (adult/child $26/20; hourly 9:30am to 3:30pm) or three-hour VIP Tour ($55; 1pm Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday); the last covers everything NASCAR from the comfort of an air-conditioned coach. Real fanatics can indulge in the NASCAR Racing Experience , where you can either ride shotgun around the track or take a day to become the driver.

Daytona International Speedway Tour - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

Exclusive, Privately-Guided VIP Tour of Daytona International Speedway Debuts Tuesday, April 19

Building upon the success of its All Access Tour, Daytona International Speedway will launch a special VIP Tour that will provide race fans an opportunity for an intimate, exclusive look behind-the-scenes at the “World Center of Racing.”

The tour provides an insider’s look at areas such as the Drivers’ Meeting Room, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series garages, tech inspection and the DAYTONA 500 Club President’s Row.  Fans can have their photo taken at Daytona’s famed Gatorade Victory Lane and enjoy a birds-eye view of the entire 2.5-mile track from Frontstretch Suite 701 – located seven stories above the Speedway.

The tour concludes with access to the Coca-Cola Theatre and a close-up look at Trevor Bayne’s DAYTONA 500 winning car.

“The new VIP tour was developed for fans who desire a truly up-close and personal tour of the ‘World Center of Racing,’ ” said Daytona International Speedway Joie Chitwood III.  “Not only will they see the most exclusive and premier areas of the speedway, they will take a walk down memory lane at the ISC Archives and enjoy all the history of racing in Daytona Beach.”

Daytona International Speedway: How To Arrange A NASCAR Fan’s Dream Vacation

• Activities and Interests
• Daytona Beach
• Destinations
• History and Culture
• United States

Does the sound of roaring thunder zooming mercilessly along steep banks rocket your adrenaline to the stratosphere? Do you prefer the smell of burning rubber to sizzling bacon? Congratulations, gearhead! You’re amongst millions of die-hard NASCAR race fans who share that insatiable lust for speed.

There’s nothing that compares to feeling the thunder of a DAYTONA 500 race live from the stands, sharing the enthusiasm with over 100,000 zealous fans at NASCAR’s most prestigious event. The noise, and the smell — yes, the smell — of speed are only fully appreciated from the seats at stock car racing’s spiritual home.

NASCAR was born here in Daytona Beach , at a rooftop bar just a few blocks from the sandy beach where racers first assembled. Nowadays, world-class Daytona International Speedway , heralded as “the prettiest speedway in the world,” attracts millions of car-racing enthusiasts — including presidents, celebrities, and racing fans just like you!

Ready to make your heart-stopping dreams a reality? Read on, and let’s head to the races!

I was kindly hosted by the Daytona Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, but all opinions are my own.

Experience Daytona International Speedway 

Let’s go straight for the gusto. This is where it all happens: the speed, the noise…the passion. Here, speed is king, and noise is a welcome by-product. The louder, the better. Adrenaline surges as drivers whiz past the rumbling aluminum stands at speeds of over 200 mph. It’s an exhilarating, thrilling experience, even for those who aren’t fans yet.

All roads in town lead to Daytona International Speedway. In fact, it’s on International Speedway Boulevard (the same road as Daytona Beach International Airport) — so it’s impossible to miss. The stadium’s 101,500 seats rise triumphantly skyward, guiding fans toward its 2.5-mile landmark track. 

Speedway Tours

If you’re not able to make it to one of the Speedway’s big events, consider the next best thing: a guided, 90-minute, behind-the-scenes tour of racing’s mecca.

The tram tour rambles down Pit Road, circling Lake Lloyd (where famous drivers are often seen casting a fishing line!) as you soar along the track’s infield at a whopping speed of 15 mph. During stops, guests climb the 31-degree high bank at Turn 3 — high enough to allow cars to reach incredibly high speeds without — hopefully! — flipping over. (Sadly, this bend claimed the life of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt.)

Accessibility: The stadium is very ADA-accessible, with 40 escalators, 17 elevators, and plenty of wheelchair-accessible seats and bathroom facilities, but these banks may seem like Everest even for those without mobility challenges!

Pro Tip: Don’t forget to bring a Sharpie, since visitors are encouraged to scribble their John Hancocks on the Start/Finish line. Some cheeky messages read, “Slow down!” and “You’re going too fast!” (Sorry to burst your bubble, but the line’s repainted every day!)

Participants also venture through NASCAR garages and ascend the spectator stands while learning about the history of the Speedway — from its $2.5 million inception in 1957 to its mind-blowing, $400 million makeover in 2016.

The highlight of the tour is undeniably the opportunity to walk Victory Lane — where each winner celebrates his victory. For fans, it’s a surreal experience following in the footsteps of racing legends.

Tour Upgrade Options

VIP Tours: 2.5-hour VIP Tours (in comfortable buses) are available. These include a visit to the NASCAR Archives and Research Center and Houston Lawing Press Box. Offered Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 p.m.; advance booking is recommended.

Race Car Ride-Along: For the ultimate thrill-seeking Daytona experience, don’t miss the chance to book a race car ride-along, or, better yet, race around the track yourself until the checkered flag drops!

Visit Daytona International Speedway’s tour page and NASCARracingexperience.com for pricing and booking information.

Pro Tip: Don’t dodge the ticket counter photo booth! All tour tickets include four free digital photos of your experience (although they try to upsell). Sure, they’re photoshopped using a somewhat tacky green-screen background, but it’s a fun memory regardless! 

How To Get DAYTONA 500 Tickets

If you’re anxious to join the 2 million pumped-up fans who converge here for the DAYTONA 500 each February, you had best plan early. Tickets routinely sell out a month in advance, hotels even sooner. The best way to secure tickets is by calling 1-800-PITSHOP or going to the official DAYTONA 500 event page .

The 300 or 400 levels provide better views of the track than lower levels. If it’s last minute and the race is sold out, try secondary sellers like SeatGeek . 

Pro Tip: Upgrade your experience by purchasing Fan Zone passes. These pre-race passes admit you to the Fan Zone area in the infield as well as the pre-race concert.

Other Daytona International Speedway Races

If you’re too late or too broke to score tickets for the big race, or if huge crowds dissuade you, consider other popular races hosted at Daytona. The Bluegreen Vacations Duel 150 qualifying races are held the Thursday before the 500. You’ll get two 150-mile races, featuring every 500 entrant, racing under the lights of Daytona. Night races in August are also very popular and far less congested. The Rolex 24 in January is another consummate fan favorite!

The Motorsports Hall Of Fame Of America

All Speedway tours include admission to the on-site Hall of Fame, home to every form of racing vehicle — stock cars, sports cars, trucks, motorcycles, powerboats, and planes! The building’s packed with tons of racing memorabilia and cup-winning cars — including Richard Petty’s 1972 NASCAR champion STP Charger. You’ll also get an up-close look at the reigning DAYTONA 500 Champion Car — in the same condition it left the track! With photo-ops galore, and plenty of knowledgeable volunteers, you’ll easily spend a couple of hours here!

Pro Tip: Don’t miss the commemorative statues of NASCAR founder, Bill France Sr., his wife and son, and race champ Dale Earnhardt, outside the building or the Champion’s Walk of Fame — featuring handprints, footprints, and cement autographs of past 500 winners. There’s also a wooden bench commemorating racing icon Richard Petty’s, 80 th birthday.

Off The Track: NASCAR Experiences Around Daytona

Streamline hotel.

Want to see — or even stay — where it all began? Then race over to the Streamline Hotel (roughly 10 minutes east). It was at the rooftop bar of this stylish Art Deco boutique hotel, a hangout of celebrities, race car drivers, and gangsters, that Bill France Sr. inked papers creating NASCAR.

The rooftop’s captivating 360-degree view of Daytona Beach stretches from the shores of the Atlantic, where the earliest races were held, to the towering stands of the city’s modern Speedway. Newspaper clippings and black-and-white framed photos cover the walls of the hotel’s NASCAR-themed lobby and rooftop bar, commemorating its historical significance. Ask to see their “Al Capone” safe door for another fun surprise!

Pro Tip: Many NASCAR-related meetings and events are still held here, so keep a sharp eye for visiting drivers and dignitaries! Bar opening hours vary, so call ahead.

Where To Eat

Racing’s north turn.

Long before cars raced around paved oval tracks of the Speedway, tires spun along Daytona’s sandy beach. From 1936 to 1958, cars thrilled and spilled along a 4.1-mile beach road course. They’d exit the beach, turning onto a stretch of the A1A at Ponce Inlet — the current site of Racing’s North Turn , a beachfront restaurant and bar popular with the racing crowd — and for good reason. Besides offering great food with an even better view, the NASCAR-themed décor and wall coverings pay tribute to the location’s unique history. Don’t miss it!

Brickyard Lounge

Be sure to hit up Brickyard Lounge , a classic American-style diner operated by Renny, a racing enthusiast who styled his digs to celebrate his passion. This hidden gem whips up the best sandwiches and burgers in town. It’s a pit stop you shouldn’t miss!

Pro Tip:  Order their ribeye steak sandwich or regret it forever!

4 Rivers Smokehouse

Order the Burnt Ends (chopped brisket and pork) with three country sides and choice of bread at 4 Rivers Smokehouse , across from the Speedway, and eat like a champion. This family-owned barbecue emporium is committed to helping communities through the 4R Foundation and its 4Roots sustainable food initiatives. It’s a win-win!

Ormond Garage

Ormond Garage , a racing-themed craft brewery and eatery, pays tribute to the legendary building of the same name, that, in the days of yesteryear, housed race cars and their drivers and mechanics. Sadly, the original building burned down in 1976; there’s a historical marker at its former site on East Granada Boulevard, where a SunTrust bank now stands.

The Ormond Beach community, just north of Daytona Beach, is known as the “birthplace of speed” and was a gathering point for auto inventors and drivers in the early 1900s.

Pro Tip: When you visit the brewery, be sure to check out the cool mural out back!

Rose Villa Southern Table

Finally, for a truly nostalgic dining experience, head to Rose Villa Southern Table . This cranberry-and-apple-green building, originally home to a circa 1901 hotel (complete with Victorian wallpaper), invokes the charm of a bygone era.

Pro Tips: Order their Bourbon BBQ Pork Chop with goat cheese grits and thank me later. Don’t miss their vintage Bourbon Bar on the second floor, either!

Where To Stay

If you don’t opt for a room at the Streamline, these other Daytona Beach options deserve your consideration.

THE DAYTONA

THE DAYTONA (Autograph Collection), a 144-room luxury hotel, sits conveniently across from the Speedway at ONE DAYTONA (a shopping and dining complex). Racing-themed murals, race cars, and vintage gasoline pumps adorn their lobby as well as the adjacent Blue Flame lounge.

Max Beach Resort

Save some money without sacrificing luxury by driving 10 minutes to Max Beach Resort , a brand-new hotel, originally designed as condos, at Daytona Beach Shores. Large suites offer full kitchens and spectacular views. Enjoy oceanfront dining, too!

Taking a Wheelchair Accessible Tour of the Daytona International Speedway

I really love fast cars. Watching them, driving them, riding in them…you name it. I don’t particularly like watching races on TV because it’s just not the same experience as being at the race in person. I prefer Formula One and Indy cars to NASCAR, but when it comes to watching powerful vehicles up close, I’m not picky. So you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that the 90-minute All-Access tour of the Daytona international Speedway , only about an hour away from my home in Orlando , is fully wheelchair accessible! I grabbed my two boys, my helper,  my travel power chair, and we headed to Daytona Beach for some roaring good fun.  Here’s what it was like to take the fully wheelchair accessible All-Access tour.

The first thing we did was load into an accessible tram, which uses an electric lift to load wheelchair users, and take a ride from the main building down to the track. Our first stop was the well-known start/finish line, where you could see the 31° banks of the turns from track level. We also got to walk/roll by all of the pit stalls.  Then our guide took us into the media deadline room where we could sit at one of the desks where reporters do their thing during races. Then everyone got a chance to sit at the table and get their picture taken where the race car drivers do their interviews after the race. My two boys had fun hamming it up for the camera!

Next was Gatorade Victory Lane, where again we were all able to take photos and hear about what the experience is like for the winners after a race. But the best part of the whole tour was taking the elevator up to the stands where we had an amazing view of the track. There were even Indy type cars and incredibly fast go carts racing around the track, so we got some amazing – and very loud – video of them zooming around at 120 mph+ speeds.

The last part of the tour was visiting the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, where we got to see the car used by Kurt Busch to win the 2017 Daytona 500 race.  There were dozens of other race cars of every type imaginable on display there, as well as suits worn by drivers and different types of engines and equipment used during races.  My boys loved every second of it, and the building is a must-see for any fan of racing sports. The Hall of Fame honors all forms of motorsports, including stock cars, sports cars, open wheel, motorcycles, drag racing, land speed records, power boating, and aviation.

If you want to take an accessible all access tour, there are some things you should know. The tours occur at several times during the day, but they book quickly and tickets are not sold in advance. You should call ahead at 1-800-PIT-STOP to find out which of the tours has a wheelchair accessible tram. I highly recommend arriving early at the track because the tickets are sold on the first come, first served basis. The tour route is also subject to change based on the track and weather activity. The cost for adults is $25, children ages 6 to 12 are $19, and children five and younger are free.
