There are a few words which, when we hear them, we immediately relate them to a certain thing. For instance, when we think of acting, we immediately think about Marlon Brando or Meryl Streep, or when we think about watches, we immediately think of Rolex or Casio. Similarly, when we think about NASCAR, what comes to mind is Daytona.

If you want to attend the next race at the iconic circuit, turns out you may not have to wait a lot or, crucially, spend a fortune. Generally, a big price tag is associated with prestigious or historical venues, think of the Monaco GP. But not here.

The package will include 2 nights stay at the Marriott Orlando Airport, the 2022 Daytona 500 tickets, Sunday UNOH Fanzone access, and free Raceday transportation.

And that’s not all. There are other packages worth $775, $985, $1035, and $1655, depending on your budget.

The most expensive package, that of $1655, will cover not only the five nights of stay at Embassy Suites in Orlando. But it will also give you direct access to Champions Luncheon.

As mentioned before, when you compare that with a race circuit like Monaco in Formula 1, the differences are enormous in terms of price. The cheapest ticket of the Monaco GP costs $740 dollars roughly, and that’s just the ticket.
