Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines! Just a few miles from the beautiful beaches of Daytona Beach, Florida, you will find one of America's iconic sports destinations. 

Daytona International Speedway, also called the 'World Center of Racing', is a 480-acre complex where the most famous race in NASCAR is held every year, the Daytona 500.

Touring the speedway is an inexpensive way to experience the excitement of auto racing. Watching a race on television doesn't prepare you for the immense size of the speedway, and riding on the track during the tour gives you a new appreciation for the skill of the drivers who can maneuver a race car on a 31 degree bank at speeds of more than 200 mph. However, to truly understand America's fascination with this famous pastime, buy a ticket to a race. Feel firsthand your heart pounding, your ears being filled with the sounds of motors revving, and the excitement of the fans as the cars zoom by so fast that you strive to catch a quick glimpse of famous drivers.

Daytona International Speedway is hallowed ground in the world of NASCAR racing. It was here in the 2001 Daytona 500 that one of the best drivers in NASCAR history, Dale Earnhardt, crashed on the final lap in turn four and lost his life. A majestic, bigger-than-life statue of Earnhardt stands outside the raceway welcoming visitors.

Auto racing is as American as apple pie and baseball. Visiting Daytona International Speedway is a must when visiting the central Florida area. Located approximately an hour drive from Orlando, it makes a perfect addition to your theme park vacation!
