Daytona 500 Tickets

The Daytona 500, affectionately known as the Great American Race, is the pinnacle of American auto racing events. It’s a grueling 500-mile endurance race where both driver and machine are pushed to the limits on a grand high-banked oval. Cars will be forced to battle side by side for an intense 200 laps to determine who will make it to the winner’s circle. The Daytona 500 has been a NASCAR tradition since 1959 and it is the first race of the NASCAR Cup Series season. Drivers and race teams spend all of January testing and tuning up their cars to compete in NASCAR’s Super Bowl. NASCAR is unique in that it begins its season with its most significant event. This creates a lot of energy and drama around the Daytona 500 that sets the tone for the season. Many of NASCAR's best-known drivers have left their mark on the famed oval. Richard Petty won the race a record seven times, Cale Yarborough is behind him with four and Bobby Allison, Jeff Gordon and Dale Jarrett all have driven to the winner’s circle three times. You can see all the action live when you attend the race. Get your Daytona 500 tickets at StubHub.
