The Daytona 500 brings elite stock-car racing, huge crowds and a festival atmosphere to Daytona International Speedway.
It is a bucket-list American sporting event, with pre-race entertainment and the drama of 200 laps on the high-banked oval.
Normally held in February; dates change annually.
Our suggestion: Book tickets, parking and accommodation early. Racing is extremely loud, so take proper ear protection—especially for children.
