Our Hosts: Motorsports Hall of Fame of America
The museum at the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America will wow, thrill and amaze you by documenting the feats of men and women who dared to dare. Located at Daytona International Speedway — the “World Center of Racing” — where you can enjoy a tour of this historic venue, then join us for a multi-dimensional, selfie-worthy experience.
The 15,000-square-foot facility is stocked with vehicles, artifacts and memorabilia that tell these heroes’ and heroines’ stories. Their legendary achievements often span more than one of the motorsports disciplines we honor — car racing, boat racing, airplane racing, among them. And the eye-popping exhibits in our vehicle corral and display cases rotate frequently, which means always something new — and significant — to see.
Enjoy exciting racing videos in our Robert E. Petersen Theater. Get your picture taken behind the wheel of an actual Toyota NASCAR Cup Series car. Marvel at our 31-degree slice of Daytona International Speedway’s high banks. Locate your favorite motorsports legend, or a newly discovered one, among our inductees’ permanent bronze plaques. Walk through the history of racing on the “World’s Most Famous Beach,” in our Heritage of Daytona exhibit, then ogle treasures in our memorabilia cases. Meet the latest Motorsports Hall of Fame of America inductees in our Heroes of Horsepower exhibit. You’ll even see the reigning DAYTONA 500 champion car!
