Daytona 500 Experience

Fans of car racing will have a fantastic time at the Daytona 500 Experience, a motorsports attraction in Daytona Beach Florida, about 50 miles north of Orlando.

The Daytona 500 Experience is located at the Daytona International Speedway, home of NASCAR's annual Daytona 500 race.

NASCAR is the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing. Of all televised sports in America, NASCAR racing has the second highest number of viewers, after American football.

At the Daytona 500 experience, you can take a 30 minute narrated speedway tour in an open-air tram, where you will pass through the speedway's garage area and pit road.

You can practice racing at Acceleration Alley, where NASCAR simulators allow you to experience the thrill of racing at over 200 miles per hour while spectators cheer in the grandstands.

Challenge yourself to match a pit crew's speed and expertise at the Chevy 16-Second Pit Stop Challenge.

At the Dupont Technology of Speed exhibit, you can see the inner workings of a 3,400 pound stock car.

A 45 minute IMAX film will provide you with an inside view of the world of NASCAR drivers and their teams.

For an extra special experience, consider purchasing the Daytona 500 Experience VIP Hot Pass Tour, which will guarantee you a two hour personal tour of the track, two vouchers for Acceleration Alley and discounts on merchandise.
