Rolex 24 At Daytona Is A Can’t Miss Motorsports Spectacle - Speedway Digest

The annual kick off to the international motorsports calendar, the Rolex 24 At Daytona is one of the premier racing events in the world. With 53 cars from 10 different automotive manufacturers, and lineups comprised of star drivers from NASCAR, IndyCar and Formula One joining the best of the best from international sports car competition, this year’s 53rd running of the Rolex 24 on Jan. 24-25 is a can’t-miss event. In fact, the Daytona International Speedway infield is expected to be bursting at the seams as fans gather to watch the season-opening event for the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship and the Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup.

Tickets are still available for both the infield and grandstands, including 40,000 new seats as part of the DAYTONA Rising project. Those seats located on the west end of the frontstretch will be open for the first time to fans on three different concourse levels.

“You see the pit entry and exit, you see the action, you see the first corner,” said Rolex 24 Grand Marshal Jochen Mass. “It’s quite spectacular. You can see the cars coming back onto the track banking. I would definitely sit up here.”

In addition to exciting on-track action, the Rolex 24 offers a wide variety of experiences from autograph sessions to carnival rides and live entertainment.
