President Trump’s appearance at the Daytona 500 on Sunday may feature a guest appearance from the presidential limousine known as “The Beast.”

Trump is planning to take a lap around the track at Daytona International Speedway prior to the venerable NASCAR event, Fox News chief White House correspondent John Roberts reported on Friday, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter. Plans have not yet been finalized.

NASCAR named Trump the grand marshal of the Daytona 500, marking the first time a sitting president has held the honor. He is the latest of several presidents to visit the historic race.

Daytona International Speedway has been privileged to have hosted several sitting Presidents of the United States over our history,” Daytona International Speedway President Chip Wile said in a statement. “We’re honored that the President of the United States has chosen to experience the pageantry and excitement of ‘The Great American Race’ by attending Sunday’s 62nd annual Daytona 50

Former President George W. Bush attended the Daytona 500 in 2004. His father, former president George H.W. Bush, attended a July race at Daytona in 1992 and Ronald Reagan attended a race in 1984.

I’m sure they will a test run before the actual event. That would be something to see.

If you think NASCAR cars are loud go to an NHRA national meet and listen/feel the top fuel cars or funny cars. You ain’t heard or felt loud until you do.

I can’t wait to see this. I stopped watching NASCAR a few years ago but I wouldn’t miss this for anything.

I’ll bet the SS are doing practice laps in the back up Beast to make sure it can stick a high line.

Can’t wait!

I wonder if someone is going to supply him a drivers suit.

And maybe some temporary MAGA decals for the car.

Any lap around that track, even on the apron, will have the crowd going nuts :-)

They should absolutely put one of those skins in the car to make it look like a NASCAR… They could do some really cool things

It’s only lacking one thing...

Wonder if it’s too late to stick a #Trump4Eva decal on that car...

Trump in a driver’s suit would be freakin’ over the top. How about him in a MAGA helmet?

Can’t wait. Melania getting out of the car with him would be a nice touch. She would look more than fine in a driver’s suit.

I would bet money there is a conservative company out there that would offer the services for free to skin that car

It would be very funny if he put 17 on the sides (letterQ)!

A driver’s suit covered with decals for all things conservative or pro-America.

That was David Pearson's (RIP) number from way back. I don't know who uses # 45 these days.

What a meme.

Trump and all the Dem candidates, doorhandle-to-doorhandle, at least according to the media.

In reality, they're all spinning in the infield or crashed into the wall. Those who made it to the track, that is.
