Daytona 500 Backed Up by Weather, Start Moved Up to Dodge Evening Storms

To dodge potential evening storms, NASCAR moved the Daytona 500 start up by an hour; the race is now set for Sunday at 1:30 p.m. ET with a green flag around 2:13 p.m. ET. FOX Weather projects a small rain chance early, increasing into the evening with possible thunderstorms if the race runs long, though conditions should be warm (high near 79 F) and mostly cloudy earlier, with light winds. The track’s lights offer flexibility, and organizers hope the earlier start reduces weather-related delays after last year’s rain-affected finish.
