Exclusive, Privately-Guided VIP Tour of Daytona International Speedway Debuts Tuesday, April 19

From Dave Westerman

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Building upon the success of its All Access
Tour, Daytona International Speedway will launch a special VIP
Tour that will provide race fans an opportunity for an intimate,
exclusive look behind-the-scenes at the “World Center of Racing.” 

The tour provides an insider’s look at areas such as the Drivers’
Meeting Room, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series garages, tech inspection
and the Daytona 500 Club President’s Row. Fans can have their
photo taken at Daytona’s famed Gatorade Victory Lane and enjoy
a birds-eye view of the entire 2.5-mile track from Frontstretch
Suite 701 – The exclusive France family suite located seven
stories above the Speedway. Also, fans can take a stroll through
Daytona’s history inside International Speedway Corporation’s
Archives, featuring artifacts, past champion trophies, historic
images and more. The tour concludes with access to the Coca-Cola
Theatre and a close-up look at Trevor Bayne’s Daytona 500 winning
car.

“The new VIP tour was developed for fans who desire a truly up-
close and personal tour of the ‘World Center of Racing,’ ” said
Daytona International Speedway Joie Chitwood III. “Not only will 
they see the most exclusive and premier areas of the speedway, 
they will take a walk down memory lane at the ISC Archives and 
enjoy all the history of racing in Daytona Beach.”

Unlike the All Access Tour that utilizes open-air trams, an air
conditioned bus is used for the VIP Tour.

 
Admission to the VIP Tour is $50 per person and advanced 
reservations are encouraged as availability is limited. 
Reservations can be made in person at the Daytona International
Speedway Ticket Office or by calling 1-877-306-RACE (7223).
