GET THE DETAILED MAP! There are many roads zipping around the speedway that can be valuable in getting out of the traffic and onto the interstate you need to get back to your hotel.
Also beware because the police will close streets and exits as traffic gets thick to help ease congestion and route you a different way. So you know what I say Get there Early, no later than 6:00 AM!
Exiting After The Race Go To US 1
After the race, listen to 93.1 FM WKRO for traffic updates before exiting the parking lots. Daytona Beach Police Dept and The Florida Highway Patrol recommend you access the fastest and least congested routes to the north, west and south of the Speedway by heading east to Nova Road (Rte 5A). From Nova Rd you can go north or south to US 1 and access I-95 and I-4 at several different locations. To get to Nova Rd, go east from the Speedway, or any of the parking areas. Nova Rd is less than a mile east of the Speedway. Go to US 1 for the fastest and least congested exit routes.
After the race, for the fastest and least congested routes north, south and west of the Speedway, the Police Department and Highway Patrol suggest that you access Interstate 95 or Interstate 4 by going east from the Speedway to U.S. 1. From U.S. 1 you can access I-95 or I-4 as follows:
* U.S. 1 NORTHBOUND TO:
I-95 just north of Ormond Beach (approx. 11 miles)
I-95 just north of Bunnell (approx. 27 miles)
I-95 at St. Augustine (approx. 45 miles)
U.S. 1 intersects I-95 north at all three of the above locations. We recommend you stay on U.S. 1 north all the way to St. Augustine then take I-95 north at St. Augustine.
* U.S. 1 SOUTHBOUND TO:
SR 44 in New Smyrna Beach (then 15 miles to I-4 west)
SR 442 in Edgewater (then 5 miles to I-95 south)
To get to U.S 1, go east from the Speedway to Ridgewood Avenue. (Ridgewood Ave. is U.S. 1)
511 provides time-saving traffic information for fans traveling to the Daytona International Speedway
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) offers advice to fans navigating Florida roadways on the way to the Daytona 500 – call 511, Florida’s free traffic information system. Information available through the 511 system includes travel delays, traffic crashes, roadway blockages and lane closures. By dialing 511, fans can stay informed on the roadways, plan alternate routes and stay safe.
Drivers can dial 511 to access real-time road conditions for all interstate highways and many metropolitan roadways including Interstate 4 and Interstate 95. As long as a caller is within Florida, the 511 system can be reached on any cell phone or landline, regardless of area code or service provider. Once in the Daytona area, callers can get detailed regional information on roads leading to the stadium, such as I-4 and I-95.
Before heading out, users can visit www.FL511.com for 511 tips and incident reports, and to register for My Florida 511 customized routes. When a phone number is registered, the 511 system recognizes the user and provides the option to hear traffic details for the programmed trips first.

FROM PHIL: For those staying east of the track at hotels I found great onsite race parking with easy exit back to your area. Outside of turn four there are two lots that you enter from international speedway blvd. One is run by the boy scouts and you technically park on airport property for 20-30 bucks depending on which night it is. However if you get there early, there is a Marriot that charges $10 to park either night still the same length in walk as the boy scout lot.
PARKING NEAR DAYTONA SPEEDWAY Recon from us
FROM JIM D., WEST PALM BEACH: did find a good lot at the Open MRI Center on Bill France Blvd to park, which allowed us quick access out to I-95 after the race.... back home in West Palm Beach by 1:00am.
0.3 Open MRI of Daytona 201 Bill France Boulevard, Daytona Beach, FL 32114
LAIDBACK RACING NOTES: When we went to the Keys on vacation we did a little Recon after getting this email from Jim
As many of you know I am not big on parking on Speedway property. It is just too much of a cluster f#%&. We did some Recon on parking and here is what we found.
Across the street from the front stretch of the Speedway are streets that run off International Speedway Blvd. What is good about these roads is you can leave after the race by heading towards LPGA Blvd instead of getting caught up in International Speedway Blvd. traffic (get a map, it is an easy route). The streets are Williamson, Fentress, and Bill France Blvd. All of these roads have business on them that were closed when we went there on Sunday. There weren't gates on many of them. I think you can park there. Now there maybe some one there charging you a small fee but these streets are right across form the front stretch.
Bill France Blvd. is closer to turn 4. On that road we saw the Open MRI building, the corner parking lot of the Volushia Mall, Space Coast credit Union, Studio Plus Delux, Sun Trust bank, Speedway Business Center and a Suburban Dodge. On the corner of Bill France Blvd and International Speedway Blvd was a shopping center, Centre Marsh Volushia Pointe.
Fentress is in the middle. On Fentiss we found Culligan Water, Enterprise Park, Eltec, Perkins Elmer, Cosmopro Group and Precision Engineering. There were more than this but these are the ones who's signs I caught. The only place I saw "No Parking on Side of Road" signs were on Fentress from Bayliss to International Speedway Blvd.
Another street Bayliss, intersects Fentress and is very close also. On Bayliss we found a Business park that had parking. Also on the corner of Fentress and Bayliss was a Coke A Cola Plant. The part of Bayliss that is closest to Speedway Blvd is right behind Hooters.
Williamson is closer to turn 1. Target Store at International Speedway Blvd. and Williamson has paid parking for around $30.00 and money goes to the United Way. The Target is on the corner and actually it looked like you could park on the side of the road on this street.
All along International Speedway Blvd are business like; Toys R us, Pier 1, Barnes and Noble, Sports Authority, Best Buy, K-Mart, Home Depot, Rooms To Go, Hagan Terrace and International Speedway Square. I am sure many of these business do what target does and charges for parking since they know they aren't going to have many sales from the locals during race day. 
FROM CAROL: Speedpark across the street from the daytona race track. It costs us $30.00, had concrete and bathrooms. When the race was cancelled, our $30 ran over until the next day of the race and the places were reserved. Nice people running it and security.
PREVIEW - A FEW OF OUR THOUGHTS...
THE 500: Real race fans see the pilgrimage to Daytona for the 500 as a must do before they die. Jimmy has been to Daytona more times than he can count. I have been 3 times. By far the best time you will have in Daytona is to get there for the 125's and stay till Sunday. We did that in 2001, in the infield no less, & had a blast! To me, Daytona is too expensive to get there Saturday and watch only the Saturday and Sunday race even though we have done that on a whim.
The 400 on July 4th weekend isn't as popular as the 500. If the 4th falls on Friday or Monday it makes it worth the trip because you don't have to take too many days off from work.
BEWARE: Jimmy got 3rd degree burns in the infield on the weekend of the Firecracker 400 when it was still run during the day. This fact plus 400 miles goes quick at 190 MPH has stopped us from returning for the July 4th race. Now that it is at night we may make it there again soon.
Bad Aspects:
1. Extremely Expensive. One year, our tickets were $150.00 each for seats in
chicken bone alley. The very next week our top row, front stretch, Rockingham ticket was only $80.00. Daytona is unfortunately VERY expensive and restrictor plate racing just plain sucks.
2. The Racin' ain't too good. Sorry all you speed freaks. It is plate racing....they are 3 wide 10 rows deep because that is how the restrictor plate holds them. It is not because they are racing, they are simply holding on. UPDATE 2011: Now we have the 2 car dance...still sucks
INFIELD
By far my favorite way to do the races at Daytona or Talladega is the infield. To not have to walk around a 2.50 or bigger race track is the best part. Just get on top of The Race Wagon and watch practice, get down. Get up on the Race Wagon for the 125's, get down. Get back up on top for another practice, get down and only have to walk a few feet to be home. You get more of a race fix in the infield at these 2 tracks. No matter where you sit in the grandstands you just aren't getting that much better of a view.
If you are at the end of the backstretch in turn 3 it's cool to watch the cars coming down the back stretch and fan out 4 or 5 wide (hate that yellow line rule. They used to spread it out even more than that!) Then they all try to squeeze in line to 3 wide before getting into turn 3.
The last time we went we got lucky & squeezed in to a spot in between the exit of pit road and where they climbed the banking going into turn one. Only 1 row of motorhomes in between us and the fence. Right on the main paved road. Love that 20' long Race Wagon! Man oh man that was a sweet spot. In between turn 1 & turn 2 are grandstands that you can sit in if you buy a walk in ticket. There are also some grandstands by Lake Lloyd. We could see the start finish line, the race out of the pits, all of turns 1 & 2, all the back stretch and the top 2 lanes of 3 & 4. We only lost the cars going into the dog leg and back out of it.
Remember when doing the infield there are 2 simple rules:
1) The higher you are the better the view.
2) You will have to "RUN WITH WHAT YOU BRUNG!" You can leave the infield and there is a KMart and Mall outside BUT it is a hike.
GRANDSTAND SEATING
Now many fans don't like going to Daytona or Talladega cause it is too hard to see the whole track because of their size. I look at it like if you see half of the Daytona track (1.25 miles) you are seeing more speedway than if you can see all of Bristol, Rockingham, Martinsville, Dover RIR, you get what I'm saying.
HOWEVER you will not see as much racing!
We almost always do the infield at Daytona but have sat in the stands a few times.
We have sat in Seagrave not real high up and they were good seats (Section B, Row 13, Seat 29). Still got the ticket because it was the year Ironhead finally won. Got to see the Drag Race out of the pits (only time I get to see drag racin' anymore), most of the track and there was a jumbo tron right in front of us. One word of warning, ever though I could see the cars on the backstretch, I watch the jumbo tron because it was hard to tell who was who even though I could see what the cars were doing.
We sat in the Oldsfield Grandstands coming out of turn 4 and I didn't like them too much. Couldn't see the start finish line or many of the pits. Could see who was diving into the pits for a stop, most of the backstretch, all of turns 3 & 4. Part of turns 1 & 2.
Weatherly Grandstands are pretty good. Could see almost all the pits, start finish line, most of back stretch, all of turns 1 & 4 and most of turns 2 & 3.
The Backstretch Grandstands are extremely under rated (like at quite a few tracks). Less expensive and man oh man when those cars fan out 4 and 5 wide, it is unbelievable. If you get in front of the big screen TV you can see the pit stops too, which is the big plus on the front stretch.
CONCESSIONS
High priced like all tracks. To see where to find the independent vendors for souvenior deals click RACE RECON
RESTROOMS
For all the hype they put into Daytona being a crown jewel, well, it ain't all that. The frontstretch bathrooms are outdated when I finally found one. No running water in one and the other didn't have hot water. None had toilet paper or paper towels and this was on the Sunday of the Daytona 500. One of my claims to fame was I sat thru not one but two Daytona 500 without going to the bathroom. I went once at the beginning of the race and missed about a quater of the race because it took me so long to find one and it was so crowded (yea that was in my hard drinking days).
STAFF
The staff hides from you. Not really just seems that way.

Also on Ponce Inlet is the Lighthouse Point Park. It is on 52 acres, this park offers opportunities for fishing, swimming, and picnicking and features an observation deck and tower and numerous nature trails.
There are the beautiful beaches at Daytona, Flagler and Ormond Beach with a ton of great seafood restaurants. There are also a few racetracks within 15 miles for some good, ole fashioned, short track race before the big superspeedway battle. Gorgeous golf courses at New Smyrna beach, Flagler Beach and Ormond Beach. Many museums like African American Museum of the Arts and the Gillespie Museum of Minerals in nearby Deland. There is even a Postal Museum in Orange City. Of course there is nearby Disneyland.
A must do is the Main Street Pier in Daytona Beach. At 1000 feet long, the Main Street Pier is the longest pier on the east coast of the United States. It offers Space Needle observation tower, Outstanding Views, Fishing and a bar and restaurant.
While in Daytona Beach why not try a water sport’s activity like a parasailing adventure, jet skiing, ride a four wheel beach vehicle, fishing or sailing? There are a ton of company’s minutes from the speedway to help you on this.
