Daytona 500 Moves Up Due to Rain

NASCAR is moving fast to stay ahead of the clouds. Sunday’s “Great American Race” will now start one hour earlier to maximize the chance of finishing all 500 miles.

  • New Start Time: 1:30 p.m. ET

  • Green Flag: 2:13 p.m. ET

  • Where to Watch: FOX, MRN Radio, HBO Max, SiriusXM

  • STARTING GRID

With a 50% chance of rain in the afternoon and heavier storms expected by evening, officials are hoping to avoid the multi-hour delays and Monday restarts that have plagued the last two years. Kyle Busch and Chase Briscoe lead a sold-out field of 41 drivers competing for a massive, record-breaking $31,045,575 purse.
