I flew at Daytona for the 500 race (obviously not near the track). You can still get gorgeous beach shots and shots of the city, but getting airspace permission as a hobbiest requires you to contact Daytona international and fill out a document over the phone BEFORE you intend to fly. It takes 2 hours to process. Daytona operations manager makes the experience easy, despite the very congested airspace usually including a landing every 45 seconds.
And as stated before me, stay away from people, and make sure you have a spotter, as even with airspace clearance, you never know. But either way, like FDS mentioned, unless you are a part 107 and are in good with the track management, getting shots of the race itself without being over people/the track itself is impossible and likely to land you in deep water.
