On the roughly 300 days a year when nothing is racing, Daytona International Speedway opens its gates for tours — and they are the most filmed attraction in Daytona. Six separate tour films sit on this page, and together they agree on the shape of the visit: the Dale Earnhardt statue and champions' walkway outside, an open-air tram ride, and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, which is included with the tour ticket.

Daytona International Speedway Tour and Racing Museum

Jeff's Adventures

Jeff's Adventures' definitive Daytona International Speedway tour film (2026): the Dale Earnhardt statue and championship walkway outside, a tram ride past pit road and the Daytona 500 Club, and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, whose exhibits include William Byron's back-to-back 500-winning cars. Jeff states the tour cost $30 as filmed, notes a VIP version exists, and closes with two practical tips: bring water — it is a long, hot tour — and do a little research before you go.

Key takeaways
  • Full 2026 tour: tram, 31-degree banks and the Motorsports Hall of Fame
  • Tour priced at $30 as filmed; a VIP tour also runs
  • Earnhardt statue and champions' walkway open the visit

Daytona International Speedway Tour & Motorsports Hall Of Fame Museum

ViewFromTheCheapSeats

ViewFromTheCheapSeats' annual speedway tour and museum visit (2024), filmed on a NASCAR Driving Experience day — when the tram cannot lap the track itself, the tour detours through the infield instead, which the hosts treat as a bonus. The film includes the stop where display cars sit tilted at the track's full 31 degrees of banking, the Hall of Fame's current Cup cars, boats and motorcycles, and states the tour was $26 including museum admission as filmed.

Key takeaways
  • Tour was $26 including the museum, as filmed in 2024
  • On driving-experience days the tram routes through the infield instead of the track
  • A display demonstrates the full 31-degree banking angle

Epic Family Quests

Epic Family Quests' favorite-parts cut of the speedway tour, hosted by Discover Daytona Beach: the Earnhardt statue, the tram ride, the fan zone and the museum, filmed with an eye on families. Practical notes run through it — the tour operation is open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. as stated on the day, most of the tour is covered and shaded, and whether the tram goes up on the track varies, so they advise checking before you buy.

Key takeaways
  • Family-framed highlights of the standard tour plus museum
  • Mostly covered and shaded — comfortable with kids
  • Track access for the tram varies by day; check before booking

What the standard tour covers

The tram runs past pit road and the Daytona 500 Club and stops where a display car sits tilted at the track's full 31 degrees of banking — the angle is the exhibit. One detail the films catch that surprises people: on driving-experience days the tram cannot lap the track itself, so the tour detours through the infield instead, which the hosts treat as a bonus rather than a loss. Whether the tram goes up on the track varies by day — check before you buy, as one family film advises.

The VIP step up

The VIP tour adds the rooms the standard route never sees: the NASCAR archives and research center, the media deadline room where some 190 journalists file on race days, and the Rolex Club level with its bird's-eye view over the track. The VIP film on this page is hosted by a self-described non-fan who leaves converted.

Practical notes from people who filmed it

Weekdays are far quieter — one reviewer booked on arrival and waited ten minutes. Most of the tour is covered and shaded, which matters with kids. Bring water anyway: the fullest tour film calls it a long, hot tour. And one honest accessibility note: boarding the tram involves a big step. Prices appear in the films as filmed ($30 in the 2026 film, $26 in 2024) — confirm the current price before you go.

Daytona International Speedway Tour Review + Tips Before You Go

Salty Sarah Travels

Salty Sarah Travels' straight-talking tour review (2025): she booked the basic tour on arrival with a ten-minute wait, rode the tram around the track, learned campers can fish in the infield lake, took in the stadium views from the Toyota entrance seats and finished in the Motorsports Hall of Fame — included with the ticket and, she admits, a hit even for a non-racing fan. Her tips: weekdays are far quieter, parking is easy, and the tram's big step is a real consideration for anyone with mobility issues.

Key takeaways
  • Basic tour booked on arrival; ten-minute wait on a weekday
  • Hall of Fame admission included with the tour ticket
  • Tram boarding involves a big step — noted for mobility planning

VIP Tour at Daytona International Speedway, Florida

Mandi Martin

Mandi Martin's VIP Tour film (2025) is the only one on this page that goes where the standard tour does not: the speedway's archives and research center (fifteen hurried minutes among the artifacts), the Godwin Kelly deadline room where some 190 media members file on race days, and the Rolex Club level with its bird's-eye view of the track. She arrives knowing little about NASCAR and leaves converted — the VIP cut is as much about the building's hidden working rooms as the racing.

Key takeaways
  • VIP-only stops: archives & research center and the media deadline room
  • Rolex Club level views over the track
  • Packed with Daytona Beach road-course history

Daytona International Speedway Tours

DaytonaBeach

The Daytona Beach CVB's official tours film in its full cut: an open-air tram behind the scenes of the 'world's first motorsports stadium,' Victory Lane photo stops, the reigning Daytona 500 champion's car preserved exactly as it finished, and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America. It lays out the menu clearly — stadium tours run multiple times daily past the 31-degree banks and NASCAR garages, and the 90-minute All Access Tour adds the start/finish line up close.

Key takeaways
  • Official CVB film: tram tour, Victory Lane and the Hall of Fame
  • Champion's car displayed as-raced
  • 90-minute All Access Tour is the premium option
