Daytona International Speedway Parking Guide: Where to Park, Parking Map and What It Costs (2026)
Part of Happy Hour Racing's NASCAR Track Parking Guides - the plain-English rundown of where you actually park, what it costs and how you get back out.
The Short Version
Daytona International Speedway parking, in three lines:
- Cheapest lot: free. The track says free parking is available for most events, in Lot 7 (with a shuttle) and the rear of Lot 8 at Volusia Mall on select events.
- Pass needed in advance: not for the free lots. Paid Lot 4 is sold in advance for select events, with day-of parking until it fills. Infield and hospitality lots require a pass.
- The one trap: which lots open changes by event. A lot that was free in February may not be open in August, so check your event page the week of the race.
Where to Park at Daytona International Speedway
Daytona International Speedway parking comes in five types: general, paid, ADA, hospitality and motorcycle. Most lots sit along International Speedway Boulevard (US 92), across from the frontstretch.
- Lot 7, free with a shuttle - shuttles run to ONE DAYTONA from Lot 7 at the corner of Clyde Morris Boulevard and Jimmy Ann Drive.
- Lot 8, Volusia Mall - the rear of the mall is free parking and the front is paid parking, both on select events only.
- Lot 1, paid - outside Turn 1 at International Speedway Boulevard and Turn One Drive. The track calls it the closest paid parking to the Speedway. It also holds reserved ADA, bus parking and the official rideshare zone.
- Lot 4, paid - at International Speedway Boulevard and Midway Avenue, outside Turn 4. Sold in advance for select events, then day-of until full.
- Lot 3, paid - the Shoppes at ONE DAYTONA and Space Coast sections are paid parking. The IMC, West, Best Buy and Speed Park sections are hospitality lots that require a pass.
- Lot 4A, motorcycles - dedicated paid motorcycle parking near Turn 4.
- Lot 2A and Road Course/Infield parking - pass holders only, for President's Row, Pit Road Patio, Turn 1 RV and DAYTONA 500 Club guests.
What it costs: the free lots cost nothing. Daytona does not print a price for Lot 1, Lot 3, Lot 4, Lot 4A or the front of Lot 8 on its parking page, and it says pricing varies by event. We will not repeat third-party numbers the track has not published, so check your event page at checkout or call 1-800-748-7467.
Do You Need a Parking Pass in Advance at Daytona?
For Lot 7 and the free side of Lot 8, no. Show up and park.
For Lot 4, buying ahead is the safe play. The track sells it in advance for select events and then sells day-of parking only until it is full. The hospitality lots, Lot 2A and the Road Course/Infield lot all need a pass that comes with your ticket package.
Daytona International Speedway Parking Map
This is the track's own parking map. Green P$ markers are paid lots, blue wheelchair symbols are ADA lots, and the blue line with S markers is the ADA cart route along the frontstretch.
Read it like this. International Speedway Boulevard runs along the bottom, between the grandstands and ONE DAYTONA. Lot 1 is bottom right, outside Turn 1. Lots 4 and 8 are on the left near Turn 4. Lot 6 is the big yellow lot behind the backstretch, and Lot 7 is the pink area at the bottom.
Infield, RV and Camping Parking
You cannot drive in and day-park in the infield unless you hold a pass for the Road Course/Infield lot. The infield is mostly campers. The 2026 facility map shows the Orange Tent Campground, Green, Red and Yellow RV areas, Shores at Lake Lloyd RV and the Blue RV Hospitality Village inside the track, plus Park West RV outside Turn 1 along Williamson Boulevard.
Infield camping enters through Gate 70 during peak hours and Gate 40 on Williamson Boulevard outside peak hours. Campers can come and go with the infield wristband and the parking pass on the tow vehicle, but if you leave with your RV or pop-up, you cannot bring it back in. Pets are allowed in Park West and the infield RV and camping areas only.
Accessible Parking and Shuttles at Daytona
Reserved ADA parking is in Lots 1 and 4, and general ADA parking is in Lot 6. You need a state-issued accessible placard or plate, and by Florida law the person it was issued to must be in the vehicle. ADA lots are for cars and light trucks only.
If you bought ADA seating, you get a reserved parking pass with the ticket, but you still have to show the placard with it. Everyone else parks in the ADA lots first come, first served, and the track warns they fill very quickly. Arrive as early as you can.
Shuttles and carts:
- ADA shuttles serve Lots 1 and 4. Lot 6 has ADA transportation to the Frontstretch gates, the Midway and the Hard Rock Bet Fanzone.
- Free golf carts run the frontstretch between ADA Cart Shuttle Stops, limited to the guest and one companion at peak times. A cart at the Turn 4 Tunnel takes wheelchair users to the Infield Shuttle Bus.
- Trams leave the Lot 1 Tram Plaza near the AdventHealth Injector gate for the infield, the Fanzone and Lot 6.
Carts may pause right after the race until crowds thin.
Getting In and Getting Out
Daytona does not publish lot opening times on its parking page, and it says to arrive early for the best options, especially in the general and paid lots. On a DAYTONA 500 or Coke Zero Sugar 400 weekend, give yourself plenty of cushion. Rideshare pickup and drop-off is near Lot 1, off the frontage road by Cracker Barrel on eastbound International Speedway Boulevard.
Going home, the track does not post forced turns or a clear-out time. Its advice is to be patient inside the lots and keep your navigation app open for the best route to I-95, I-4 or the beachside, since some roads close for traffic patterns. For live traffic, tune to WNDB on 1150 AM or 93.5 FM, or call Florida's 511.
Common questions about parking at Daytona International Speedway

How much is parking at Daytona International Speedway?
The free lots cost nothing. The track does not publish prices for its paid lots on its parking page and says pricing varies by event, so check your event page or call 1-800-748-7467.
Do you need a parking pass for Daytona International Speedway?
Not for the free lots. Lot 4 is sold in advance for select events and day-of until full. Hospitality lots, Lot 2A and Road Course/Infield parking require a pass.
Is there free parking at Daytona International Speedway?

Where is accessible parking at Daytona International Speedway?
Reserved ADA parking is in Lots 1 and 4, and general ADA parking is in Lot 6. A state-issued placard or plate is required, the permit holder must be in the vehicle, and the lots fill fast.

The Bottom Line
Daytona International Speedway parking is easier than the size of the place suggests. If you want free, use Lot 7 and ride the shuttle. If you want close, buy Lot 1 or Lot 4 ahead of time. If you need accessible parking, get there early. The one thing that will burn you is assuming last race's lots are open this race, so check your event page first.
Parking is half of race day. Our Daytona International Speedway Fan Guide covers the 14 by 14 by 14 inch soft cooler limit, the bag policy and the prohibited items list. Headed to another track? See the Darlington Raceway Parking Guide, or read how Tyler Reddick won the 2026 Daytona 500.
