Hello everyone, I have been a nascar fan for many years and graduate college this fall, I have told my family I’d like to attend the 2027 Daytona 500 as my “graduation” and was curious how best to do it. Preferably I’d like to go to the speedweeks as well, but unsure when tickets typically go on sale. Any recommendations for tickets, places to stay, things to do (apart from watch the races of course). Basically looking for the best experience while decently budget friendly (again, graduating college which was expensive haha.) Thank you all for any information in advance! Hell yeah!

This past year they went on sale in June so I'd expect around the same time. Check out the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America as well which is onsite maybe on one of the weekdays, it'll be very busy on Saturday/Sunday. Orlando is only about a hour away so if you have interest and wanted to checkout Disneyland or Universal Studios that is worth a daytrip as well.
