Daytona 500 live updates: 2025 NASCAR Cup Series opener delayed by rain after just 11 laps
It's been 14 weeks since Joey Logano won his third NASCAR Cup Series championship in Phoenix and now it's finally time to start the 2025 campaign with the Daytona 500. We've covered driver movement, previewed the season as a whole and kept track of a pretty significant lawsuit in the offseason, but now let's focus on the 'Super Bowl of motor racing events.'

On Wednesday night all entered cars will turn one lap at top speed, the order of which is determined by a Tuesday night draw of numbers. The top 10 drivers then go into a shootout with the top two times from that session setting the front row for Sunday's race. The remaining cars are dropped — as evenly as possible, along with the top two qualifiers — into two 60-lap qualifying "duels" to be run Thursday night that set the field from spots three through 40. The finishing order for the first duel determines the inside row slots and the finishing order from the second duel sets the outside. Restrictor plate racing presents a randomizing element that makes handicapping the results challenging, and that's reflected in BetMGM's odds. Three drivers enter the week with identical 12-to-1 odds and 10 drivers come in at 20-to-1 or better. Ryan Blaney +1200Joey Logano +1200Brad Keselowski +1200Kyle Busch +1400Denny Hamlin +1500 Due to a new rule this year, a provisional is granted for a 'world-class driver' who does not run the Cup series full time to join the field for any event as the 41st car. Teams must put in the request at least 90 days ahead of time and only Trackhouse Racing did so on behalf of four-time Indianapolis 500 champion Hélio Castroneves. Castroneves will still attempt to qualify for the race and if he posts one of the top 40 times, there will be only 40 cars running on Sunday. If he doesn't make it on time, the Daytona 500 will have its largest field in 10 years. Seven-time series champion and winner of the 2006 and 2013 Daytona 500s Jimmie Johnson will attempt to make the field in a third entry for the Legacy Motor Club team that he owns. Johnson, 49, has run in the event twice since retiring from full-time racing in 2020, with a best finish of 28th.

President Donald Trump makes Daytona 500 appearance at Daytona International Speedway
Hear this story Just a week after attending the Super Bowl, President Donald Trump made an appearance at another great American sporting event, the 2025 Daytona 500. The 47th president arrived in Daytona Beach, Florida a little after 1 p.m. ET and at Daytona International Speedway shortly after as some drivers and team owners awaited Trump's arrival. The President took a lap around the 2.5-mile track and received loud cheers when he was shown as the national anthem neared its conclusion. This isn't Trump's first time at the Daytona 500 either, nor is it his first time as serving president. In 2020, Trump made his way down to Florida for the event, and even served as the race's grand marshal and gave drivers the ceremonial command to "Start your engines" and pacing the field. The magnitude of Trump's first appearance is tough to match, but that doesn't mean his appearance today was any less memorable. Here are pictures and video from the president's appearance in Daytona. Daytona 500 grand marshal list:Actors, models, presidents who said, 'Drivers, start your engines' WATCH: President Trump at 2025 Daytona 500 Is Trump the first sitting President to grand marshal the Daytona 500? No. He was the first to lead the pace car ahead of the race though. Other presidents who have served as the grand marshal for the race include: George H. W. Bush (1978) – prior to his presidency George W. Bush (2004) Jimmy Carter was arguably the biggest friend of NASCAR among presidents. As Georgia's governor, Carter hosted three dinners for NASCAR drivers, owners, officials, and media between 1971 and 1975. He also waved the green flag for a NASCAR Cup Series race at the Atlanta International Raceway on April 4, 1971.
