I think the Indianapolis 500 has better ratings.

Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt have both won the Indy 500 and Daytona 500 races.
There have been 21 drivers to race in both the Indy 500 and Daytona 500.
In 2007 although ratings were down from 2006, 6,574,000 still watched on tv.
AJ Foyt made his career in an Indy car, winning the Indy 500 4 times. He also won the 1972 Daytona 500 for the Wood Brothers Mario Andretti also has won both races. He won the Indy 500 in 1969 and the Daytona 500 in 1967.
formula1, Daytona, or Indy 500
It's tough to say because the Daytona 500 is the Nascar Super Bowl and more fans like Nascar than Indycar, but the Indy 500 racetrack has more seats than in Daytona. So I think more people go to the Indy 500 just because the track has more seats and the Indy 500 is the most important race in motor sports.
