RACE WEEK EVENTS
(Schedule below)

Now called the Coke Zero 400. It's a schedule that a race fan performs before any Sprint Cup Series race. But the Daytona 500 isn't just any race and Daytona International Speedway isn't just any track.

This is something that must be expereinced.

The Daytona 500 is a 10-day festival of speed which includes the Camping World 300 Nationwide Series race, the Chevy Silverado 250 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, the Gatorade Duel At Daytona qualifying races, the Budweiser Shootout, ARCA 200 ARCA RE/MAX Series race and Daytona 500 Qualifying.

Traditionally a sell out since the inaugural event in 1959, the Daytona 500 has become more than just the kick-off event to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. It's become a sporting spectacle.

Race fans can also get into the heart of the atmosphere of the Daytona 500 through a Pre-Race/Sprint FANZONE pass, which includes activities such as:

Photo opportunities on the start/finish line and pit road Watching teams stage their cars and pit stalls Viewing pre-race entertainment through driver introductions Inside the Sprint FANZONE, there's also plenty to do. This uniquely designed fan area features amenities such as:

Looking through the windows into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series garages.
Viewing the garage activity from the Sprint FANDECK overlooking the garages
Strolling through the Goodyear Legends of Daytona
Dining at the Budweiser Bistro
Live entertainment in the Entertainment Zone

And then there is the racing. The Daytona 500 has produced many of the most memorable moments in the history of NASCAR.
