The Daytona International Speedway was originally conceived by a Florida-based racing promoter named William France Sr. who, in association with several other promoters, developed NASCAR in 1947. The goal of France was to construct the ultimate racing facility to allow for the best professional motor sports competitions to have an extraordinary platform at which fans could have a never-before-seen experience. The 31 degree asphalt grade was a recent innovation and created a course with extreme banking in the turns. Tickets to Daytona were highly regarded as the best place to be in the country for premier racing.

The speedway was practically completed when the France's budget ran dry and he was forced to look for outside funding. Pepsi-Cola came to the aid of NASCAR and was a major sponsor for the organization and the Daytona International Speedway for many decades to come. Opening day brought 41,000 fans with tickets in hand for the fastest ever stock car race competition and it has shown no signs of anything but progress since then when it was simply called Daytona. Interest in tickets to Daytona never seems to wane, with fans worldwide placing their orders for the best seats NASCAR has to offer them.

Under the NASCAR banner, amazingly popular tickets are sold for a wide variety of events within several different series.
