Since it worked so well in October, Daytona International Speedway has asked us to stage by the Backstretch Ticket Booth off of Midway Ave. through Gate 70. (Following the light blue path to the Staging Area, in the photo.) Once in the lot you will be instructed to park and take the very short walk over to the Backstretch Registration Building to get your paperwork and credentials for the event.
Once properly credentialed on Thursday morning, March 10, you will be allowed to follow the service road (the red colored path, in the photo) around to the Turn 1 Tunnel and then into the facility. (If possible, we will escort those CCS competitors who have reservations for the rider/owner lot in to drop trailers on Wednesday afternoon, March 9, after 2:00 p.m. No work or unloading is to be done in the blue garages, just dropping your trailer so you can get into your camping space.)
Currently the plan is to allow those who have Daytona 200 entries and have picked up their credentials access to their yellow area garages and the rider/owner lot Wednesday afternoon, March 9, after 2:00 p m as long as the heavy equipment is removed from the area to allow access to those units.
Please remember registration for pre-entered riders and all crew members opens at 2:00 p m on Wednesday, March 9. You will need to get your credentials BEFORE attempting to enter the Speedway on Wednesday afternoon.
Registration opens Thursday morning, March 10 at 6:30 a.m. and Tech opens at 8:00 a.m., giving you plenty of time to enter the facility, park your rigs and get to tech before the first practice at 12:50 p.m. for ASRA/CCS riders.
Daytona 200 competitors have their first riders meeting at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, March 10 before taking to the track for practice at 12:00 p.m. This is one of the reasons we are trying to get those riders into the yellow garages Wednesday afternoon, March 9 so they can unload and be ready for their obligations starting on Thursday.
For those who have their credentials, you will be allowed to use Gate 40 off Williamson after 6:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 10 to enter the facility, eliminating the need to drive around to Gate 70 for access. Please follow these simple directions and enjoy the 75th Daytona 200 at Daytona International Speedway!
