NASCAR named Trump the grand marshal of the Daytona500, marking the first time a sitting president has held the honor. Trump AND THe FIRST LADY is planning to take a lap around the track prior to the NASCAR event in the presidential limousine known as The Beast
The U.S. Secret Service will have more than 500 agents on site at the Daytona500 according to people briefed on the security plan, one of the largest presences by the Secret Service in all of American history.
➖ Air Force One may fly over the track before it lands.

well I’m done with this nonsense.....either cover the race or not! Last time I turn to FOX NEWS for any sports coverage! and they can put Chris wallace whre the sun doesn’t shine!
Really great photo Procon!
Shhhh....
I told my husband they made the pre-race stuff way too long, and then did that overdone intro part (shooting dry ice fog out as a driver came out...etc).
This sport was from moonshine runners, not glamour queens.
Way too much pre pre pre race stuff, and they’re just now getting to the real race time. Geez never heard guys talk sooooooo much!
Shut up and drive!
I can understand why it was done that way. The Secret Service probably wouldn’t allow Trump to be the only car.
Oh geez they are still talking!!!!
Amen
Shut up and let them drive.
Note to FOX: Well done!
—Bless your heart.
I am tired of all the prerace stuff. Too much. Just like the Super Bowl.
Only watched the prerace stuff to see Trump.
Agree. They suck!
Now some old fart on talking strategy?
buncha cackling hens....
Fox is milking 2 hours of commercials outta this before the race even starts.
Boo!
Love President Trump’s comment to all the drivers.
Do you mean FoxNews? I watched on FOX, a different, but somehow affiliated, TV Channel. I saw President Trump's speech and his "Start Your Engines" command.
Wallace is a never-Trumper, not worth a minute of time to me.
Rain is moving in.
Me too.
I wanted to see every Trump event.
Only saw the Start Your Engines and pace lap ( way too slow)
had to see AF1 landing and grand marshal speech on YouTube.
well... they waited so long it’s starting to rain!
Aw, geez......
What are the rules around rain?
Oh good grief....more commercials.
Jerks.
Still not racing.
I was happy to hear that Trump had previously been to the Daytona 500 four times. He is the opposite of a phony.
I wonder if Jill Biden or Michelle Obama had ever been to a car race before they were the starter at one.
