When should I book my Daytona 500 hotel?

Secure rooms 4–8 months ahead for top selections along the beach, near International Speedway Blvd, and around One Daytona. Start with flexible rates; add tickets, hospitality, and transfers as your schedule firms up.

What’s the best way to get to Daytona International Speedway on race day?

Use official park-and-ride shuttles or pre-purchased parking with early arrival. Expect road closures and geofenced rideshare zones; allow buffer time for screening and post-race egress.

What should I wear for NASCAR race week?

Smart-casual with sun-ready layers: breathable fabrics, hat/sunglasses, and comfortable shoes for long concourses. Pack sunscreen and consider ear protection. Many venues enforce clear-bag policies—check the latest guidance.

Can you arrange hospitality, suites, and group logistics?

Yes. We manage premium hospitality and club access, group room blocks, private SUVs/sprinters with timed pick-ups, and dining holds aligned to qualifying, support races, and the 500.

Daytona 500 — Hotels, Tickets & Race-Week Planner

Your concierge guide to Daytona: where to stay, how to reach the speedway, what to wear, and how to pace qualifying, Duels, support races, and Sunday’s 500.

Daytona Speedweeks is a full festival: practice and qualifying, the Duels, Trucks and Xfinity, concerts, and Sunday’s Daytona 500. Expect temporary traffic patterns on International Speedway Blvd, geofenced rideshare areas, and larger security perimeters. Our playbook: anchor you near reliable access points and set timed transfers so race days feel effortless.

We place guests in 4–5★ hotels across One DAYTONA (directly opposite the track), beachside/A1A for oceanfront views, and Downtown/Beach Street & Ormond for calmer nights—prioritizing properties with early breakfasts, late dining, and predictable ingress/egress. Many travelers split the stay: beachfront early week, then move track-side for race weekend to cut transfer time.

Getting around: use official park-and-ride shuttles or pre-purchased parking with early arrival windows. Rideshare pick-ups happen in designated geofences—walking 10–15 minutes to an outer street after the checkered flag usually beats the main corral. Private SUVs/sprinters with set meet points remain the smoothest door-to-door option.

Areas to know: One DAYTONA for dining and fan activations, Beachside/A1A for boardwalk energy and oceanfront rooms, and Downtown & Ormond for quieter mornings and easy highway access. Our Daytona 500 Hotels page maps options to parking lots, shuttle stops, and walking times.

What to wear: Florida in February can swing from sunny and warm to breezy. Think breathable layers, a light shell for wind, and comfortable shoes for long concourses. Add sunglasses, sunscreen, a cap, and ear protection—the sound is part of the experience. Most venues enforce clear-bag policies; pack accordingly.

Tickets & viewing: higher rows on the tri-oval grandstands widen sightlines across the track; start/finish and pit-road views add drama at restarts. Infield and hospitality options bring curated F&B and closer access. We’ll sanity-check your section, row, gates, and fastest exit based on your tickets.

Sample race-week flow: Wed–Thu practice + Duels; Fri Trucks; Sat Xfinity + final prep; Sun 500 with timed arrival, clear egress plan, and celebratory dinner. Depart Mon after a beach walk and brunch.

Daytona 500 — FAQ

Reserve 4–8 months ahead for top picks along the beach, near International Speedway Blvd, and within One DAYTONA. Start with a flexible rate—layer in tickets, hospitality, and transfers as plans solidify.

Use park-and-ride shuttles or pre-purchased parking with early arrival. Follow wayfinding to security screening. For rideshare, expect geofenced zones; a brief walk to an outer street after the finish typically shortens the wait.

One DAYTONA/track-side minimizes commute and is ideal for early gates. Beachside/A1A delivers ocean views and evening promenades. Downtown/Ormond offers calmer mornings and straightforward highway access. Many guests do a split stay.

Sun-ready smart-casual: breathable layers, a wind shell, cap/sunglasses, and comfortable shoes. Bring sunscreen and ear protection. Check the venue’s clear-bag and prohibited-items lists before arrival.

Higher rows on the tri-oval broaden sightlines across the track and pit road. Lower rows bring you closer to the action but reduce field visibility. Hospitality adds lounge access and curated F&B—great for long days.

Not necessarily. Shuttles + rideshare work well during Speedweeks. For off-grid dining or coastal drives, we’ll arrange a private driver and set return windows around the on-track schedule.

Florida weather can change quickly. Build buffer time, pack a light rain shell, and enable event alerts. We’ll adjust transfers and dinner holds if start times slide.

Yes—premium hospitality, curated room blocks, and sprinters/SUVs with staged pick-ups aligned to qualifying, support races, and the 500.
