Daytona 500 Betting Fast Approaching

It officially kicks off the NASCAR racing season and there is simply no feeling in auto racing like placing on bet on Daytona 500 action. It’s an event steeped in tradition and rich in racing and when the Daytona 500 betting finally gets underway this year the sporting world will rejoice.

Daytona 500 betting is the granddaddy of the NASCAR racing schedule. In an odd paradox which is common only to Daytona 500 betting and NASCAR the biggest event of the year actually kicks off the season, rather than end it. That is to say, the Daytona 500 betting event is the biggest race of the season, unlike other sporting leagues like the NFL or Major League baseball which hold their signature events (the Super Bowl and the World Series, respectively) as the grand finale. The bet on Daytona 500 event actually starts the season.

But that is simply one of the charming quirks that have made Daytona 500 betting fans so fond of the sport. But there is so much more that makes the idea of placing a bet on Daytona 500 races such an exciting prospect.

To begin with, the track itself is one of the absolutely most massive constructs in sport. The track itself is 2.5 miles in length, one of the longest in the sport with a massive tri-oval in-field that has become one of the signature’s of the Daytona 500 betting experience, with its RV section, bass fishing pond and golf facilities. And all that overshadowed by the massive 167,000 seat capacity grand stand which is what gives the Daytona 500 betting event its lifeblood as hundreds of thousands of diehard enthusiasts bet on Daytona 500 racing and fuel themselves full of Budweiser and Busch Light.

But if you can’t make the Daytona 500 betting in person, it’s almost as exciting watching on the TV screen. The cars roar around the track reaching speeds of more than 200 miles an hour. The track used for the Daytona 500 betting has some of the steepest banking in NASCAR (31 degrees) which makes it one of the fastest tracks in the sport. And one of the most appealing aspects for the entire Daytona 500 betting is, of course, the weather. February 15th is an awfully cold day in most of the country but in Daytona Beach, FL temperatures are regularly in the 80s, which drives Daytona 500 betting fans wild!
