Daytona International Speedway (DIS) is one of the most iconic motorsports venues in the world, located in Daytona Beach, Florida. Opened in 1959 by NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., the track was created as a modern and safer alternative to the beachside circuits once used in the area.
Best known for hosting the Daytona 500 each February – widely considered "The Great American Race" and the crown jewel of the NASCAR Cup Series – the speedway is also home to another fan-favorite: the Coke Zero Sugar 400, held under the lights every summer. This thrilling race typically marks one of the final chances for drivers to qualify for the NASCAR Playoffs, making it a must-watch showdown filled with high-speed action and last-lap drama.
The track itself is a 2.5-mile tri-oval featuring 31-degree banking in the corners, enabling close-pack, high-speed racing. With seating for over 100,000 fans and an infield road course, Daytona is a versatile venue that hosts a wide variety of events throughout the year. These include the prestigious Rolex 24 at Daytona endurance race, Daytona Supercross, and the legendary Daytona 200 motorcycle race.
Over the years, Daytona has witnessed some of NASCAR's most unforgettable moments – from Dale Earnhardt’s emotional 1998 summer win to the breathtaking photo finish between Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. in 2016. Races like the Coke Zero Sugar 400 continue to produce dramatic storylines and unpredictable outcomes, adding to the track's storied legacy.
In 2015, the speedway completed a major renovation known as Daytona Rising, which introduced state-of-the-art grandstands, upgraded fan amenities, and new hospitality options. Today, Daytona International Speedway offers an unmatched fan experience, blending rich history with modern comfort.
Whether you're attending the summer showdown of the Coke Zero Sugar 400, the season-opening Daytona 500, or one of the many other events, Daytona remains a bucket-list destination for any motorsports fan – a place where speed, tradition, and passion come together on one of racing’s biggest stages.
