Daytona International Speedway Seating

At Daytona you want to pick your own view because every seat has a different vantage point someone wants. Seating starts at Turn One and extends across so fans are seated facing Pit Row and continues through to Turn Four. If you want to watch the last turn to victory, sit in Turn Four in the Oldfield Tower. If you are a race fan who prefers seeing the action in the Pit then we suggest you buy center seat in the Campbell Chair. Or if you want to see the start of the race coming right at you; sit in turn one in Lockhart or Keech Box. There is also seating on the backstretch in Turn Two, Lund and Allison. This section allows the fans to see action coming out of Turn One, down the backstretch and going into Turn Four.

Tip for Sitting Near Track at Daytona

If you are one of those fortunate fans who is going to be sitting down near the racetrack in in the lower grandstands, then we recommend that you wear earplugs and clear glasses to protect your ears and eyes. If you have long hair, make sure to tie it back-- the wind from the cars comes fast.
