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.

I heard they’ve been taking he Beast on trial runs.
NASCAR racers do the same——they have to know when to hit the floorboard on the straightaway and when to let up around the curves.
I imagine ‘this ride’ in the beast will be one of the greatest memories for them both. They’ll have an incrediable reception there!
True. But what would the LSM say if Trump took the apron?
Cheater!
Chicken!
etc....
Brian France ruined NASCAR. The grandstands are empty at many smaller, formally popular, venues.
It went from a rough-and-tumble sport of ex-moonshiners, to drivers who are Madison Avenue clones.
I’m one of many, many ex-NASCAR fans who have lost complete interest.
Should be fun! Even to watch.
I met some of the French family VPs back 20+ years ago and they were about as classy, honorable and fine business people as I ever encountered.
Bill France Sr. and Bill France Jr. were great men, and visionaries.
But, Brian introduced WOKE culture to NASCAR and, in the process, alienated a large portion of the fan base.
Happy Presidents Day Weekend .....what a way to celebrate!!!
Yes, we can laugh, but GHW barely squeaked by in Florida that year against BJ.
.....moonshiners driving on back roads trying to beat the revenuers became speed demons-----
.....somebody had the idea of staging "stock car" races in a field........
Thus....NASCAR was born.
“And I would think it weighs at least five tons.”
excellent guess ... wiki says it weighs 14,000 pounds (7 tons)
“I heard they’ve been taking he Beast on trial runs.”
i wondered about that ... makes total sense ...
Armor plating and bullet-proof glass.... And it must have about a six-liter V-8 to drive that extra weight too.
For the first time in 19 years I’m going to put my INTIMIDATOR shirt on and watch the 500. Dale Earnhardt and President Trump are my 2 favorite non husband men. What a GREAT way to remember and celebrate this day!
Democrat voter fraud did its job..........
The flag to start the race is scheduled for 2:30 pm. It will
occur in the minutes leading up to that is my guess.
LOLOL.....Well it’s rare indeed I watch the races.......I will be tuning in today!
Fox is already there and reporting live.

Similar here but I still watch occasionally. Today I intend to watch. Wish they still had that huge American flag. Want to see The Beast and AF1 flyover.
