It's race day at Daytona International Speedway, and that means it's time for NASCAR's most iconic race and its most famous track.
NASCAR Cup Series drivers will take the track for the 66th annual Daytona 500, seeking to etch their name in history and lift the Harley J. Earl Trophy in victory lane.
It will be an all Ford front row with two former Daytona 500 winners pacing the field. Joey Logano, the 2015 winner, won the pole Wednesday night. The two-time Cup Series champion will start alongside 2021 Daytona 500 winner Michael McDowell.
Thursday night's Daytona Duel winners will start on Row 2. Tyler Reddick starts third to lead the Toyota contingent, followed by fellow Toyota driver Christopher Bell. Chase Elliott, the 2020 Cup Series champion, starts fifth, the best of the Chevrolet drivers.
The biggest thing to watch, however, might be the weather. Rain is forecast all day and into the evening on Sunday, leaving a strong chance that the start of the race is delayed – or even postponed until Monday.
