When is the 2024 Daytona 500? Where can I get tickets? For how much?
In a matter of days, we’ll collectively turn the final page of the calendar and enter 2024, which in these parts can only mean one thing — we’re yet another step closer to the start of NASCAR's 76th season beginning with the 66th running of the Daytona 500.
That’s right, the the Great American Race draws ever nearer and of course, even more imminent is the Rolex 24, scheduled for January 27 at Daytona International Speedway.
But the 500 won’t be far behind. The race is set for 2:30 p.m. on February 18 with a full week of festivities leading up to that including Daytona 500 qualifying, the Bluegreen Vacations Duel at Daytona and season openers in the ARCA Menards Series, the Craftsman Truck Series (Fresh From Florida 250) and the Xfinity Series (United Rentals 300).
