On-Track Access
Talk to any DAYTONA veteran and they’ll tell you that the pre-race track walk is a unique tradition that you won’t want to miss out on. Gain access to the same track that will soon crown DAYTONA’s newest champion and through the tri-oval grass. Leave your mark by signing the start/finish line and experience the famous surface from a completely different perspective before grabbing a spot for driver introductions.
On the day of the DAYTONA 500, you’ll be able to watch multi-platinum selling singer Jake Owen perform in the DAYTONA 500 Pre-Race Show. Only those with UNOH Fanzone/Pre-Race Access are allowed on the track and tri-oval grass during pre-race festivities.
Gatorade Victory Lane
After each race, immerse yourself in the experience of a championship celebration in Gatorade Victory Lane. Once you’ve gotten your UNOH Fanzone/Pre-Race access, be sure to head over before the race ends to get in line for a good spot in the stands to watch the champagne flow.
Over the course of Speedweeks, Gatorade Victory Lane also provides a unique opportunity to see the Harley J. Earl DAYTONA 500 trophy up close, before walking in the steps of greatness by stepping onto the podium and getting your picture taken as the next DAYTONA 500 champion.
