“From the roar of the USAF Thunderbirds overhead to the sight of the sellout crowd on their feet as the field takes the green flag for the Daytona 500, there will be no place more electric than Daytona International Speedway this Sunday afternoon,” DIS President Frank Kelleher said.

Grandstand tickets remain for other races during Speedweeks.

DIS also announced Monday that next year's Daytona 500 will take place on Feb. 18.
