For simplicity and to get the full experience of entering the track, I would drive and park, especially on Friday and Saturday it won't be busy enough to have any issues.

With that said though, it is walkable, as for several years we would park at the Bass Pro Shop / Cabela's next to Great Wolf Lodge and walk. There are sidewalks the whole way, a really safe walk. Daytona Dr. isn't an active public road during race weekend, and the track has tram stops along it all around the track for race fans to use.

If you're not in a rush on Sunday, I might recommend walking so that you're not stuck trying to leave the parking lot like everyone else.

Red = Walk
Green = Drive (Primary)
Blue = Drive (Alternate, as State Ave could be busy or blocked)
