Daytona International Speedway
Originally a course that went 1.5 miles down the highway, turned and then came back the same distance on the beach, the evolution of the "World Center of Racing" began with the opening of what is now Daytona International Speedway. Opened in 1959, this 2.5 mile tri-oval superspeedway is home to the "Great American Race"- the Daytona 500, the biggest, richest and most prestigous race in America. With the capacity to seat more than 168,000 fans, Daytona International Speedway offers banking of 3 degrees on the straightaways and 31 degrees in the turns- the most possible before the paving machines actually tipped over.
Drafting was birthed at this track when Junior Johnson discovered he could run faster by tucking his car in close behind another rather than running alone. DIS's Daytona 500, NASCAR's biggest event has hosted many of the sport's greatest moments and possibly its greatest tragedy. In 1998 Dale Earnhardt took the checkered flag after his 20th attempt at the coveted title. Just three years later, the track took his life in a turn 4 wreck on the final lap of the race.
The infamous 2.5 mile Daytona International Speedway promises close side-by-side competition and fast speeds approaching 200 miles per hour along with historical moments all along the way.

I have been on at least 5 TABA tours and have enjoyed everyone of them. I like the attention to detail and the "add ons" such as a day of shop tours before the Charlotte race in May. I appreciate Devan (TABA Tour Representative) checking to see if I am enjoying the races and do I need anything. I have recommended TABA to several NASCAR race fans.

Once again we had a fantastic time and after our visit years ago , was only natural we would only book with TABA , we think all staff was great but I would go beyond and say the correspondence through email back and forward to Australia with the guys sorting our our exact preferences was brilliant.

Our 2nd trip with TABA was as successful as our first. Once we arrived at the hotel the rest of the week was a breeze. Hassle free trips to the track with a great tour guide and driver. Shop in the midway and leave your purchases on the bus so you can enjoy the race baggage free. If the weather is hot you can return to the bus anytime to enjoy the AC and cool down. We attended the Daytona 500 both trips and were not disappointed. We highly recommend them for your next trip to a track .

Our first trip with TABA was to the Indy 500 in 2021. It was such a great experience that we used them again for the Daytona 500 in 2023. Jay (TABA Tour Representative) did a great job in dealing with two hotels. We were in one of the older hotels on the beach, but that added to the charm of a bygone era that needs to be kept around.

If you are looking to book a race package, look no further than TABA. We found TABA online while searching for a Race package for the 2023 Daytona 500 weekend. We were hesitant at first because we had never heard of TABA. I’m VERY pleased that we did. We placed our order for the 4 night package and it was easy and hassle free. Thank you TABA! We will most definitely travel with you again.
