When Is The Daytona Race

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Just a short way away from the beach that became one of the major showcases of the power of the automobile, the Daytona International Speedway has served as one of the world’s greatest and unmistakably American cathedrals of speed. And no race it holds all year is more unmistakably its own than the one that bears its very name.

After rain all day Sunday forced the race to be postponed, Monday afternoon marks the 66th running of the Daytona 500, the biggest prize in all of stock car racing and the season-opening race for the NASCAR Cup Series. The rainout Sunday marks the third time in race history it has been postponed to Monday, all of which have come since 2012. Matt Kenseth won the first-ever Daytona 500 run on a Monday evening in 2012, while Denny Hamlin took the checkered flag four years ago in the rain-delayed 2020 race.

The event has plenty of celebrity crossover appeal. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is this year’s Grand Marshal while DJ Khaled is the honorary starter. The Rock will deliver those four most important words in motorsports: “Drivers, start your engines” to signal it’s officially time to go racing.
