Daytona 500 Race Tickets

NASCAR fans can buy their Daytona 500 tickets right here at TicketSmarter! The Daytona 500 is the biggest and most prestigious race on the NASCAR calendar. The first event was held in 1959 to christen the newly built Daytona International Speedway. NASCAR legend Lee Petty won the inaugural running, and his son Richard Petty went on to be the winningest driver in Daytona 500 history with seven victories. One of the most popular and notable race winners was Dale Earnhardt, who finally won his only Daytona 500 in 1998 after 20 years of trying.

In 1982, the race became the season opener for the NASCAR Cup Series, which is a tradition that continues today. Daytona is also a part of Daytona Speedweek with multiple practices, qualifying sessions and support races leading up to The Great American Race. The Daytona 500 is usually scheduled for the second or third Sunday of February with beautiful Florida weather greeting race fans each year. Recent winners that have hoisted the Harley J. Earl Trophy in victory lane include Denny Hamlin, Austin Dillon and Kurt Busch. Secure your Daytona 500 tickets today to watch your favorite driver attempt to win the biggest race in NASCAR!
