DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The Daytona 500 has resumed under the lights Sunday after two rain delays that totaled more than 3 hours, 30 minutes and 20 laps.
The first delay of 3 hours, 10 minutes happened not long after President Donald Trump, riding in his heavily armored presidential limousine known as “The Beast,” led the drivers on two laps around the track.
The caution flag came out with defending Daytona 500 champion
Before it landed prior to the race, Air Force One buzzed the Daytona International Speedway. Trump traveled from West Palm Beach with several guests, including his son Eric.
NASCAR officials this week moved up the start time for Sunday’s race by 70 minutes because of potential rain. It takes roughly two hours to dry the track.
“Captain America” actor Anthony Mackie gave the command for drivers to start their engines.
