Nice video. Were there any TFRs in the area?

Nope. I took a local flight towards the end of the race, but did not fly over the track/airport.

500
IIRC---TFR was 3 miles X 3000ft. Since you were at 4500ft., you were clear.

When I was a student pilot, the "old-timers" at the airport used to reminisce about flying over Lambeau Field during the Packer games. Green Bay approach would stack the planes in a hold over the stadium and they'd listen to the game on the ADF! Good old days...

Florida ATC generally wants northbound traffic at odd altitudes for IFR and odd plus 500 for VFR and southbound traffic at even altitudes for IFR and even plus 500 for VFR. I assume it is because most traffic in FL tends to be north and south.
You are correct about the National Defense Airspace around sporting events. However, I'm not sure that is technically a TFR, and they don't seem to ever issue TFR's for races at Daytona. For one thing, the track is at the airport, which, of course, is the center of the class C airspace. So, anybody in there is (hopefully) talking to ATC, so can presumably fly close to the event as one would need to do while taking off or landing at KDAB.
