President Donald Trump again found himself at the Daytona 500. Prior to the race the 45th and 47th president was able to ride in The Beast, the armored limousine used by the president, around the 2.5-mil track.
Trump was scheduled to stay for the at-least the first stage of the race but after the event became red flagged on lap 11 he left via Air Force One.

If this sounds familiar it is because the same scenario played out when Trump visited in 2020 ahead of that year’s election.
