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.' Cars have returned to pit road on Lap 11 Cars are being brought down pit road at @DAYTONA due to precipitation around the red flag is out on Lap 11. — NASCAR (@NASCAR) February 16, 2025 Grab some food, wash your clothes or get things done the #DAYTONA500 delay is going to be a while. #nascar — Brad Panovich (@wxbrad) February 16, 2025 Byron Cindric TDillon Briscoe Logano Kyle Busch is among the biggest gainers in the field, while Ryan Blaney has fallen 14 spots Caution is out at lap 10 for rain. The 2024 Rookie of the Year has lost the tail of the draft and is 7 seconds off the leader. Fuel pressure issue via the Fox broadcast team. The 67th Daytona 500 is on! GREEN FLAG! The 2025 Daytona 500 is LIVE on FOX! — FOX: NASCAR (@NASCARONFOX) February 16, 2025 President @realDonaldTrump addresses the drivers before the 2025 Daytona 500. — FOX: NASCAR (@NASCARONFOX) February 16, 2025 Teams are thinking they might get about 30 laps of racing before the rain. @NASCARonNBC — Marty Snider (@heymartysnider) February 16, 2025 A command fit for a Captain. — NASCAR (@NASCAR) February 16, 2025 One interesting aspect of the #DAYTONA500 today is that rain is expected around 3:30pm. Is that enough time to get to the end of Stage 2? Also how does that affect the fuel saving game that now dominates super speedway racing? @NASCARonNBC — Marty Snider (@heymartysnider) February 16, 2025 But let's just hope the rain misses the speedway entirely. Welcome to The Great American Race. #NASCAR #DAYTONA500Narrated by @morgan_freeman — FOX: NASCAR (@NASCARONFOX) February 16, 2025 Rain appears possible in next hour.

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.
