Tickets on sale now for 58th running of Daytona 500
Tickets for the highly anticipated 58th running of the Daytona 500, NASCAR's biggest, richest and most prestigious race -- and the first ever following the completion of the $400 million Daytona Rising redevelopment project -- officially went on sale Monday at 9 a.m. ET.
Fans will have the first opportunity to witness the 2016 Daytona 500, to be held on Sunday, next Feb. 21, in the new motorsports stadium, experiencing unprecedented amenities that include 101,500 new, wider seats, thousands of premium club seats, 40 escalators and 17 elevators, 60 luxury suites, social "neighborhoods" and three concourse levels that will span the nearly mile-long frontstretch.
Those wishing to attend "The Great American Race" will need to act quickly, as there will be a limited number of tickets available due to the reduced seating capacity in the new stadium. Fans should also note:
Tickets can be purchased by calling 1-800-PITSHOP or visiting www.DAYTONA500.com.
Hospitality and premium seat packages, including the Trioval Club and the Rolex 24 Lounge, and Sprint FANZONE/Pre-Race wristbands are also available.
For all other Speedweeks events, children 12 and under are $10 in reserved grandstands and free in general admission areas and in the Sprint FANZONE.
Fans can also visit PrimeSport.com, the new official ticket exchange and travel package provider of Daytona International Speedway. Offering multiple options for tickets, lodging and hospitality, PrimeSport.com is ideal for fans looking for the ultimate racing experience.
In addition to "The Great American Race," fans may purchase tickets and multi-day packages for the remaining events during Speedweeks, which officially kicks off with the 58th Rolex 24 At Daytona TUDOR United SportsCar Championship event on Jan. 30-31.
