President Donald Trump attended his second Daytona 500 as president, calling the event a unifying one that exemplifies America’s spirit of speed and adrenaline. In a message released as he traveled to Daytona Beach, Trump highlighted the race as a tribute to America’s greatness and said it symbolizes the country’s future Golden Age under his leadership.
Accompanied by family members and government officials, Trump arrived at the Daytona International Speedway on Air Force One and even drove a ceremonial lap on the track before the race got underway. He addressed the drivers over the radio, praising them and encouraging them to have fun and be safe.
The race, which had a sold-out crowd, was interrupted by heavy rain after just eight laps, causing a lengthy delay. Many fans in attendance wore “MAGA” caps in support of Trump, who is known for his love of sports and attendance at various sporting events like golf, college football games, UFC matches, and even the Super Bowl.
Despite leaving the race early due to the rain delay, Trump’s presence highlighted his connection to NASCAR fans, who are often seen as leaning conservative. Trump’s appearance at the Daytona 500 served as a reminder of his ability to connect with supporters through events that celebrate American tradition and values.
