DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Daytona International Speedway has no more of its 159,000 grandstand seats available for the Daytona 500 on Sunday, according to a track news release.
 
About 5,600 tickets had been discounted from $99 to $55, and the track decreased the capacity from 168,000 to 159,000 when it replaced bleacher sections in the grandstands with chairback seats with arm rests.
 
“NASCAR fans remain the most loyal and passionate in sports and we’re proud to host a full house for this year’s Daytona 500,” Daytona International Speedway President Robin Braig said. “These are tough and challenging times but the fans have responded overwhelmingly. We appreciate their support and look forward to hosting another history-making event.”
 
Infield tickets, at $100 apiece, are still available. Parking in the infield is $50.
