DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Daytona 500 Speedweek starts this week and in 2021, the races and events will look different because of the coronavirus pandemic but many hope it will still drive a boost for the local economy.
This year’s Daytona 500 won’t fill the stands with 101,000 people like normal. Race officials said the limited number of tickets are already sold out and masks and social distancing will be required. “We’ll take guests’ temperatures as they enter the facility, we’ll give each guest a little hand sanitizer, we’ll have digital tickets,” said Chip Wile, President at Daytona International Speedway.
