The Race

The race that starts the season and stops the country.

The Daytona 500 has been the opening event of the NASCAR season since 1982. At a 2.5-mile superspeedway, restrictor plate racing creates unpredictable drafting packs and chaotic finishes. No other race on the calendar carries the same weight for the sport.

Race week at Daytona includes a full schedule of support events -- The Duel qualifying races, the ARCA race, the Craftsman Trucks race -- making it one of the best full weeks in motorsport.

The Destination

Daytona Beach in February.

Daytona Beach in February is a different experience from peak season. The oceanfront properties are excellent. The speedway is less than two miles from the beach. The race week atmosphere builds through the week, starting with The Duel on Thursday night.

The package is built around two hotel tiers: the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort and the Renaissance Daytona Beach Oceanfront Hotel. Both are oceanfront, minutes from the track.

Frequently Asked

Questions about the 2027 Daytona 500.

When is the 2027 Daytona 500?

Race day is Sunday, February 21, 2027 at Daytona International Speedway, with the Racing Passport trip window running February 19 to 21. Note that the 2027 race moved off its traditional Presidents Day weekend slot.

Why is the Daytona 500 called the Great American Race?

It has opened the NASCAR season since 1982, which is backwards compared to most sports and is exactly why it matters. The biggest race of the year is the first one, so a driver's season can be made in February. Restrictor plate racing on a 2.5-mile superspeedway produces drafting packs and finishes that are genuinely unpredictable.

What else happens during Daytona race week?

A full schedule. The Duel qualifying races on Thursday night, the ARCA race, and the Craftsman Trucks race. The atmosphere builds through the week, which makes it one of the best full weeks in motorsport rather than a single race day.

Where do I stay for the Daytona 500?

Two oceanfront tiers, the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort and the Renaissance Daytona Beach Oceanfront Hotel. Both are minutes from the speedway, which is less than two miles from the beach. February in Daytona Beach is a very different experience from peak season.

What access does the package include?

Preferred speedway seating, with club seating including an open bar and flat screens available as an upgrade, plus Fanzone pre-race access and Victory Lane. That is more than most attendees see.

How does the inquiry process work?

Fill out the two-minute inquiry form. Robert responds personally within a day or two. Hotel tier, seating, and group size are settled in the consultation.
