DAYTONA ROAD COURSE WEEKEND TICKET INFORMATION
NASCAR’s top-three national series once again battle on the historic 3.61-mile DAYTONA Road Course, where the world’s best drivers have put their skills to the test on the high speed, demanding circuit. Last year Chase Elliott, Austin Cindric and Sheldon Creed, all winners of the DAYTONA Road Course event in August 2020, went on to claim their Series Championship. This year, they all look to lock in their place in the NASCAR Playoffs with a victory early in the 2021 season. Experience the twists, turns and intense action of the DAYTONA Road Course all weekend long!

Adhering to social distancing and more safety protocols and procedures, a limited number of fans will be able to attend in frontstretch seating and limited camping areas. If you have questions while purchasing, please call 1-800-PITSHOP (800-748-7467).

If I understand correctly, last year the 750 pkg. was used. In the clash the lower downforce pkg. was used. Does that mean the lower pkg will be used in the race Sunday? If so, how much difference will this make?

Not sure how much of a difference it will make, all we have to go by is The Clash race.....

The short track-road course package is the same as last year BUT the Daytona package is different. Last year, Daytona used the high downforce/high drag package for the road course race. This year, it is the regular road course/short track low downforce package.

Running two different lineups this weekend...

Truex-Bowman-Byron-McDowell

Elliott-Busch-Busch-Dinger

The first one more of a start-save lineup. The two one is swinging for the fences for a monster score. I need it after last week's 202 score. Been a few years since I had bad 500 score

 

[Motorhead55]

LOL! Most of my lineups are a combination of the two! Good luck!

Personally I typically save rookies for later in the year. So Dinger
