"Daytona 500 Postponed to Monday: A History of NASCAR's Biggest Race on Monday"

The Daytona 500 has been postponed until Monday due to two days of rain at Daytona International Speedway, with the Xfinity Series race rescheduled for Monday morning and the Daytona 500 set to start at 4 p.m. ET. Despite the postponement, NASCAR and Daytona continued many prerace activities, including celebrity visits from Pitbull and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. NASCAR made the early call to prevent fans from sitting in the rain awaiting a decision on whether the race would proceed, and drivers like Zane Smith offered to meet with fans to make the most of the situation.
