What to Expect When Attending Bluegreen Vacations Duel 2025

Get ready for the upcoming events at the Bluegreen Vacations Duel; they will keep you engaged right from your seat!

Expect an adrenaline-pumping experience as drivers battle for their positions in the Daytona 500. The duel races offer a preview of the intense competition ahead. The races are high-stakes, with drivers pushing their cars to the limit in fast-paced, close-quarters racing. You can expect strategic drafting, thrilling passes, and dramatic finishes. Qualifying for the Daytona 500 is distinct within NASCAR. The two front-row starters, the pole and outside pole, are decided through the standard knockout qualifying system. For all other competitors, this system only decides their starting position in their respective Duel; odd-numbered positions enter the first Duel, while even-numbered positions participate in the second.

The fan experience is as exhilarating as the races. The UNOH Fanzone allows fans to engage with NASCAR through interactive displays, garage tours, and driver meet-and-greets. Merchandise vendors display official NASCAR gear like stylish t-shirts and collectible souvenirs. Food stands provide classic race-day snacks such as hot dogs, nachos, and cold beverages. You'll stay energized the whole event!

The crowd at Daytona is known for its passionate energy. NASCAR fans are loyal and enthusiastic. They often wear team colors, wave flags, and cheer for their favorite drivers.

While the weather in Daytona Beach during February is typically mild, with daytime temperatures in the 60s to 70s F (18-22 C), the evenings can get chilly, so bringing a light jacket or sweater is advisable.

For those who cannot attend, Fox Sports 1 will provide live coverage of the first race at 7:00 PM ET and the second race at 9:00 PM.
