NASCAR News: Daytona 500 rained out today (Update)
Due to inclement weather, NASCAR today announced that Sunday’s DAYTONA 500 has been postponed until Monday at 4 p.m. ET. The DAYTONA 500 now joins the NASCAR Xfinity Series race (11:00 a.m. ET) on Monday, creating the first-ever Monday doubleheader at Daytona International Speedway.
The original broadcast networks remain unchanged. The NASCAR Xfinity Series race will broadcast on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. The DAYTONA 500 will be live on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
Fans with Saturday grandstand tickets and admission to the Hard Rock Bet Fanzone may attend both the NASCAR Xfinity Series race and the DAYTONA 500.
Fans looking to buy or sell reserved seats for the DAYTONA 500 should visit SeatGeek, the Official Ticket Marketplace of NASCAR. Tickets are available for Monday’s event.
FOX’s NASCAR RaceDay pre-race show will remain scheduled for today. Fans can tune-in at 11 a.m. ET on FS1 and FOX at 1 p.m. ET.
February 18, 2024
The chance of rain in Daytona Beach, Florida today is 90% all day. We expect that NASCAR will postpone the Daytona 500 race to Monday afternoon, but we shall see.
Likely 120-180 min to dry track
Rain likely has to stop by 5pm for a realistic chance to race (likely wouldn’t want to start much later than 8pm)
Today’s Daytona 500 Schedule
11 a.m., NASCAR RaceDay Part 1, FS1
1 p.m., NASCAR RaceDay Part 2, FOX
2:30 p.m., NASCAR Cup Series: 2024 Daytona 500, FOX and FOX Deportes
Heavy rains working through Volusia County this morning… on what is supposed to be #DAYTONA500 race day.
I just don’t see the race happening, sadly. Not today… pic.twitter.com/r4Gy0fU4Al
