IMSA and the Daytona International Speedway have announced that a limited number of fans will be allowed to attend the upcoming Weathertech 240 at Daytona, set for July 4.
The Speedway says it will allow 5000 fans to attend the race, with the availability of seating in the frontstretch grandstands, as well as a limited number of infield camping guests.
Only Florida residents will be allowed to attend the race. All guests will be screened before entering the facility, required to wear face coverings and maintain six-feet of social distancing throughout the venue.
In addition, multiple handwashing and hand sanitizing stations will be placed throughout the operating areas and entrances. Fans who have entered the Speedway will not be allowed to leave and then return.
Camping guests can only stay in designated areas and are not allowed to camp elsewhere. A maximum of 6 guests are allowed per spot, and when in theor own spot and with their own party, guests will not have to wear masks, but masks are required elsewhere.
“We’ve waited a long time to welcome our loyal race fans back to Daytona International Speedway and the Daytona Beach area,” said Chip Wile, DIS President. “There has been a lot of work and extensive planning by our track staff, IMSA, government and health officials, as well as NASCAR to methodically bring fans back to our historic facility.
Rest assured we will make sure that every fan in attendance is safe and can enjoy the excitement of the IMSA WeatherTech 240 At Daytona. Having the IMSA sports cars back for this summer tradition just got more exciting with fans here to see it.”
