Daytona Tour

Starting at 9:30 AM every day, the Daytona International Speedway offers guided tours that take visitors all around this historic track. The ticket office opens at 9:00 AM, and once you’ve found the correct ticket window, you’ll be able to purchase tickets for the tour. Prices for the tour are $25 for adults and $20 for children, and the tour lasts approximately one hour.

The tour begins with a journey on a tram-like vehicle, which takes visitors all around the speedway, including a close-up look at the pit road and garages, the famous tri-oval, and the start/finish line. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of drivers and teams preparing for a race. Today we only saw regular people doing the Richard Petty or NASCAR driving experiences, no famous racers!

Your tour guide will provide fascinating insights into the history and operations of the speedway. Whether you’re a seasoned race fan or a newcomer to the sport, you’ll leave the tour with a deeper appreciation for the excitement and dedication that goes into every race at the Daytona International Speedway.

Our first stop is the pit lane and the track entrance.

Daytona Tour Victory Lane

Victory Lane is a legendary location in the world of motorsports. It is the area where winning drivers celebrate after a race. The first Daytona 500 race took place in 1959, and since then, Victory Lane has been the place to be for drivers and fans alike. The celebrations at Victory Lane are always a highlight of the Daytona 500 and other races held at the track.

Victory Lane at Daytona has seen many memorable moments over the years. In 1979, Richard Petty claimed his record-setting 7th Daytona 500 win, cementing his place in racing history. In 1997, Dale Earnhardt finally won the Daytona 500 after 20 years of trying, creating one of the most emotional and memorable moments in Victory Lane.

None of these moments are more memorable than yours truly posing for a photo.

Time to cross under the track to those bleachers above the start-finish line.

The Front stretch

Throughout the years, many legendary drivers have crossed the start-finish line first here, including Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson.

In recent years, the start-finish line at Daytona has undergone some renovations and improvements, including the addition of a new video board and improved seating. These upgrades have enhanced the overall experience for fans and drivers at the track.

Front Stretch at Daytona International Speedway

During a race, the pit road at Daytona is a hive of activity, with teams and drivers making split-second decisions and executing complex pit stop strategies to gain an advantage over their competitors. If you want to watch the action in the pits, you’ve got to sit along the front stretch.

Pit Road at Daytona International Speedway

Any racing fan knows the significance of turn 4 at Daytona. Turn 4 is a 31-degree high-banked turn that requires drivers to navigate at high speeds, often reaching over 200 miles per hour. The banking allows for maximum speed, but also increases the level of difficulty as drivers must navigate the tight turn while keeping their cars under control. The tight conditions make it a prime location for on-track battles and close finishes, adding to the excitement of racing at Daytona.

Turn 4 at Daytona International Speedway

One of the most memorable moments in Daytona’s history took place in this turn during the 2001 Daytona 500 when NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt tragically died in a crash. This event was a turning point for NASCAR and led to significant changes in the sport, including improvements in safety measures for drivers. The death of Dale Earnhardt remains one of the most devastating moments in the history of motorsports, and is a somber reminder of the dangers of high-speed racing.

The tour ends here, so it’s back on the tram and back to the main building. Sadly, due to the race activity on the track, we weren’t allowed to walk onto the track. But they don’t lower the price, you just get less bang for your buck!

Motorsports Hall of Fame and Museum

Located in the Daytona Speedway complex, the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (MHOF) is a must-visit destination for motorsports enthusiasts and fans of all ages. From the humble beginnings of early automobile racing to the high-speed thrills of modern motorsports, the MHOF showcases the people, machines, and moments that have made a lasting impact on the world of racing.

This is the place to see the previous year’s winning car preserved just as it was sitting in Victory Lane.

A tribute to legends

From drivers and mechanics to designers and engineers, the MHOF enshrines the legends of auto racing, motorcycle racing, drag racing, open-wheel racing, stock car racing, and more. The Hall of Fame’s exhibits feature interactive displays, video presentations, and a wealth of memorabilia, including race-winning cars, iconic helmets, and much more.

Daytona Hall of Fame Museum

Whether you’re a lifelong racing fan or just looking for a fun and educational experience, this is the perfect place to learn about the history of motorsports and discover the stories of the people who made it all possible. With a wide range of interactive displays, hands-on exhibits, and educational programs, the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America is the ideal destination for families, school groups, and anyone who wants to learn more about the world of motorsports.

After looking at all of these awesome machines, it was time to climb in one for my own photo-op! No need to Dukes of Hazzard yourself into the car, they cut a traditional door into this one.

The death of Dale Earnhardt during the 2001 Daytona 500 sparked a wave of changes in NASCAR, particularly in terms of driver safety. One of the major developments was the widespread adoption of the HANS (Head and Neck Support) device, a restraint system that helps reduce the risk of head and neck injury in high-impact crashes. The HANS device was made mandatory for all NASCAR drivers in the aftermath of Earnhardt’s death and has since become standard in motorsports worldwide.

Readers of this blog know I love motorcycles, so I take note here at the Museum when they have motorcycles on display (see also the AMA Museum blog post ).

Ricky Carmichael is considered one of the greatest motocross racers of all time. Carmichael won a total of 15 AMA Supercross and Motocross Championships and was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2019. He is remembered and respected by fans and fellow racers for his impressive skills and competitive spirit.

The Kentucky Kid, Nicky Hayden was the 2006 MotoGP World Champion. Hayden was known for his hard-charging style and fearless attitude on the track. He was highly respected by his peers and fans alike, and his tragic death in 2017 shocked the motorcycle racing community. Despite his untimely passing, Hayden’s legacy lives on and he will always be remembered as one of the greatest American motorcycle racers of all time. The museum displays his 2006 Championship trophy.

The Motorsports Hall of Fame of America honors the legends of motorsports and celebrates the incredible achievements of the individuals who have made a lasting impact on the sport. The main atrium is an overwhelming collection of the machines that have made history.

With its engaging exhibits, interactive displays, and tribute to the legends of the sport, the MHOF is an amazing destination for racing fans and enthusiasts. So if you’re in Daytona Beach, Florida, be sure to pay a visit to this amazing museum and experience the thrill of motorsports history for yourself.

Motorsport Guides

Daytona International Speedway

Few venues can boast such a vast history and schedule as daytona international speedway. with three different layouts, the self-proclaimed world center of racing has kept fan experience at its heart since its conception in the late 1950s..

Daytona has called itself the “World Center of Racing” for many years. It’s not hard to see why: the circuit’s speedway has been a permanent fixture on the NASCAR schedule, the road course and motorcycle layout host regular events and Lake Lloyd, situated in the infield section of the track, has hosted powerboat racing.

The Daytona International Speedway was built in 1959 by NASCAR founder William France, Sr. as a replacement for the Daytona Beach Road Course. The new banked course allowed for higher speeds and better views for fans. The height of the banking led to a much higher budget than expected, but the circuit opened in February 1959, just ahead of the inaugural Daytona 500.

The track has undergone numerous renovations over the years, including a major development in 1998 which saw lights added around the perimeter, making it the third-largest single lit outdoor sports facility in the world. The new lighting allowed it to host NASCAR’s ever-popular Coke Zero 400 race, which takes place each July close to Independence Day. More recently, in 2016, the circuit underwent a $400 million facelift to improve the fan experience.

Among the most high profile events which take place at the circuit are the Daytona 500, which has been held annually in February in every year since the circuit opened, the Daytona 200 motorcycle race, which first took place at the track in 1961, and the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona, which has been held early in the year since 1962.

As Welcome to Rockville stages rise in Daytona, heavy-metal fans gear up

daytona speedway guided tour

As heavy-metal fans eagerly await the first power chords of Welcome to Rockville at Daytona International Speedway , preparations for the mammoth music festival already have shifted into high gear on the Speedway’s sprawling infield.

“We start about two weeks before the festival happens,” said Chamie McCurry, chief marketing officer for Danny Wimmer Presents, the Los Angeles-based promoter that presents the event. “We’re on-site for about 20 days total, including festival days and load out.”

It will take more work than ever this year to produce the four-day outdoor concert festival that will unfold May 9-12 in Daytona Beach. The event has expanded exponentially to feature at least 150 bands on five stages , one more than in previous years.

It’s a lineup that includes such main stage headliners as the Foo Fighters, Mötley Crüe, Slipknot, Jelly Roll, Disturbed and Limp Bizkit as well as dozens of up-and-coming acts worth watching.

Lifelong rock fan Steve Chmielewski , who estimates that he has attended more than 1,000 shows in his lifetime, ranks Welcome to Rockville among the best he’s ever seen.

The longtime owner of Steve’s Downtown Music in DeLand, Chmielewski has been a regular at the festival since it moved to Daytona Beach from Jacksonville in 2021. He was among the record-setting estimate of 170,000 fans that attended the 2023 edition of the event and plans to attend three days this year.

“It’s the biggest concert festival that Volusia County has ever had,” he said, “and it just keeps getting bigger ever year.”  

More than 100 semi-tractor trucks, 2,000 workers power Rockville

Behind the scenes, Rockville arrives with a production entourage that also continues to expand, McCurry said.  Planning is a year-round job that involves multiple site visits by teams involved in show production, food and beverage, merchandise and other aspects of the event, she said.

It takes more than 100 semitractor-trailers to deliver the infrastructure required to transform the Speedway’s 180-acre infield into an outdoor concert venue, complete with two main stages that tower six stories in height.

That doesn’t include some 80 tour buses that will shuttle bands and work crews to the site throughout the four-day event. A staff of 2,000 workers, including locals, will be working at the festival, a total that includes roughly 400 production professionals and stagehands as well as 1,000 food and beverage workers, McCurry said.

For fans, there will be some new wrinkles at this year’s Rockville.

On Wednesday, on the eve of the festival’s official opening day on Thursday, access has been expanded to a pre-festival campground party that had previously been presented exclusively for on-site campers.

For a $15 ticket, anyone can catch Garage stage performances by Hinder, Saliva, New Year’s Day and Flaw that start at 8:45 p.m. Wednesday. Visit welcometorockville.com for details.

Also new is the Church of Rock & Roll , a stylized “karaoke dive-bar” experience where fans can belt out classic rock tunes or newer hits throughout the festival. “We’re also planning some pop-ins and surprise performances there throughout the weekend,” McCurry said.

For those looking to escape the heat, the IcyBreeze Dome offers a respite with blasts of cold, dry air generated by water and ice.

Also new is the Blackened Burger Bar Pop-Up , a collaboration between celebrity chef Chris Santos, Metallica, and Blackened Whiskey master distiller Rob Dietrich. It offers three custom burgers and signature cocktails crafted exclusively for festival visitors.

Weather can be a wild card at Welcome to Rockville

Amid all the preparation, the weather forecast is a wild card that defies advance planning.

Rockville veterans undoubtedly will recall the disruption to the weekend’s schedule at the 2022 edition of the event, when a series of severe thunderstorms resulted in the cancellation of performances by two of the event’s four headliners, Korn and Guns ‘N Roses.

In case you missed it: Welcome to Rockville offering partial refunds for bands canceled due to severe weather

Ahead of this year’s festival, McCurry advises fans to visit the FAQ page on the event’s official website, welcometorockville.com , to become familiar with where exits are at the event and the promoter’s policy related to severe weather.

“The most important thing to remember is that any decision we make is rooted in band and fan safety,” McCurry said. “It’s never a good feeling for us to pause or delay a show, but we know it’s sometimes a necessity to ensure our fan’s safety.

“We advise all fans coming to the festival to have a personal safety plan, to know where they are meeting friends, where they are exiting to get back to their vehicle and to just be prepared.”

Rock fans offer welcome boost to Daytona Beach hotels

In the tourism realm, the outlook is sunny about the impact that Rockville has on hotel occupancy and business at other tourist-related spots, said Lori Campbell Baker, executive director of the Daytona Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.

“Welcome to Rockville is huge for this destination,” Baker said. “It attracts a diverse audience and immerses them in the Daytona Beach area — some, for the very first time. In terms of impact, it’s become one of our major events and guests stay in accommodations throughout the area.”

That sentiment was echoed by Jim Berkley, general manager of the 744-room Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort, the area’s largest hotel.

“The Hilton is already 100% sold out over all Rockville nights with nice rate growth over the prior year,” Berkley said. “We are turning business away over those nights at this point. Rockville levels up to one of the Top 5 events that occur annually in Daytona Beach.”

Rockville offers another example of the power of special events to drive business in Daytona Beach, said Domien Takx, vice president of operations for Ormond Beach-based Premier Resorts & Management.

Premier properties include Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, and Best Western Daytona Inn Seabreeze, all in Daytona Beach, as well as the Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Daytona Beach Shores.

“A four-day event like this creates high room demand and we anticipate selling all of our hotel rooms at high rates for the entire four-day event, Takx said. “This has materially helped us to generate additional room revenues in an otherwise slower month of the year.”

Sold-out rooms also are reported by Manoj Bhoola, president and CEO of Ormond Beach-based Elite Hospitality Inc.

Elite’s roster of area hotels includes the three properties near the Speedway — the Best Western Plus International Speedway; Hampton Inn by Hilton Daytona Speedway Airport; and the Hilton Garden Inn at Daytona Beach International Airport.

“We have been sold out at all three of our Daytona Beach hotels for the Welcome to Rockville festival for months now with a healthier ADR (average daily room rate) than last year,” Bhoola said. “Surprisingly, we already have multiple inquiries for next year’s event.”
