About This Event

The NASCAR Truck Series starts its season at Daytona on the Friday night of Daytona 500 week, with 250 miles of pack racing under the lights on the 2.5 mile superspeedway. The trucks run nose to tail in the draft, and the 2026 race went to overtime and was won by 0.044 seconds after a record 32 lead changes.

1What to Expect

It is the Friday race of Speedweeks: Daytona 500 qualifying runs Wednesday, the Duel qualifying races Thursday, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and ARCA Menards Series doubleheader Saturday and the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
The race is 250 miles on the 2.5 mile tri oval, 100 laps, run at night under the lights. The 2027 start time is to be confirmed by the speedway.
The Hard Rock Bet FanZone and pre race access pass puts fans close to driver introductions, with driver Q&As, live entertainment, signing the start finish line and a walk on the tri oval.
Most of the campgrounds are inside the track: Orange inside Turns 3 and 4, The Shores at Lake Lloyd in the middle of the infield, Yellow and Horseshoe inside Turns 1 and 2, Green RV inside Turn 4, with Park West RV on the property outside Turns 1 and 2.

2Best Way to Experience It

  • Friday runs on its own single day ticket, reserved seat or general admission. The 4 day package (Daytona 500, the Saturday doubleheader, the Truck race and a reserved seat for the Duel) was listed as sold out on 19 October 2026.
  • A reserved Truck race ticket can be bundled with the FanZone and pre race access pass, a scanner rental and parking. The FanZone pass needs a daily admission ticket as well, and the scanner carries drivers, crew chiefs and spotters on the radio during the race.
  • Hospitality for the night is sold through the speedway: the Daytona 500 Club, Harley J's and the Rolex 24 Lounge.

Kids 12 years and under get into general admission free at Truck Series races, and the FanZone takes kids 12 years and under with a paid adult. Strollers are allowed in but not in the seating areas, and there is stroller parking in the grandstands.
What if it rains?
A race postponed to another date is covered by the Weather Protection Program: grandstand tickets bought direct from the track can be exchanged for a future NASCAR race within a year or the same race next year. A delay of any length, or a race shortened by weather that counts as official, is not covered, and neither are parking, camping, FanZone passes or resale tickets.
