Rain halted progress of Daytona 500

Despite NASCAR's precautionary measure of preponing the Daytona 500 race by an hour, it turned out to be futile. Just a few laps after the green flag, NASCAR pushed the caution button and red-flagged the race due to rain.

Chase Briscoe of Joe Gibbs Racing started the race from the pole alongside Austin Cindric of Team Penske. However, at the time of the red flag, 2024 Daytona 500 winner William Byron was leading the race.

According to the latest report by Fox Sports journalist, Bob Pockrass, the rain delayed the race for nearly three hours, nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds. At the time of publishing this article, only 20 out of 200 laps were completed in nearly four hours.
