NASCAR Seeks Major Change Near Daytona Speedway That Could Raise Parking Concerns

Two NASCAR-managed companies have requested a zoning change for a 191.41-acre property known as NASCAR Lot 7 in Daytona Beach, Florida. The site has served as event overflow parking near Daytona International Speedway for decades. The proposed change would rezone the property as a Planned District, allowing for up to 2,500 residential units as well as potential commercial developments.

The proposal was scheduled for review by the Daytona Beach planning board on October 22, 2026, with potential final city commission approval expected around February 2027. Officials noted that traffic generation would be capped at 4,861 peak-hour trips, and no developers or formal construction plans have been finalized yet.
