My wonderful wife booked us all a trip to Daytona for SX in March as my Christmas present. Bucket list race for me and will be my kids’ first time at a SX. She’s leaving the seats up to me. As much as I’ve always wanted to go to that particular race, I also couldn’t help but think it’s gotta be one of the harder races to spectate live cause of how long the track is in the infield and how far away the grandstands appear to be from the track. I could be wrong.
Anyway, anyone been to one in Daytona? Any tips on which seats/sections/areas are best to watch, keeping in mind I have a 13 and 11 year old? Greatly appreciate any and all advice!!

The track walk passes are kind of a joke, you don’t really get to walk the track. Get there early for the pits(duh), it’s pretty cool walking through the garages.
Infield parking is worth it. Also be ready to be blown away by the size of the place, and probably wanting to hit a NASCAR race if you never have. It’s impressive.
Depending on your budget, consider one of the "Clubs" like the 500 Club since this is a special trip, which is in that infield tower. You can see more of the track and comes with food and bev, I believe. ($$$)
Watching Daytona from ground level, even in the small stands they bring in, is like watching an outdoor, you can only see small parts because it's so spread out.
It's a weird place to watch from, IMO.
If you want to be close up, cool, but you will only see a little bit of the track.
If you sit in the stands or any of the clubs mentioned, you are farther away, but you can see more.
Rolex Club is way high up in like the press box, but you can see EVERYTHING. It's expensive, but it is nice. Wife might appreciate it more than you if she's not into moto, if you know what I mean.
just email me at kimmeyboys @ gmail

Of course with that said, going with another couple this year and they are not up to the cost so will see how that goes.
