The 2025 NASCAR season roared to life with the 67th running of the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, where William Byron captured his second straight victory in a dramatic finish on Sunday.
The race was delayed for more than three hours due to rain, with several late crashes shaking up the field.
Tyler Reddick finished second, and Jimmie Johnson placed third, while Kyle Busch blamed Joey Logano for a wreck that knocked out several contenders.
President Trump attended the season opener and took ceremonial laps in his armored limousine, known as “the Beast,” before leaving during the rain delay.
