As sourced via Motorsports.com, severe weather threats had been a concern leading up to the 2025 Daytona 500. To counter potential delays, NASCAR officials moved the race’s start time up by an hour. Despite their efforts, rain arrived shortly after the green flag was waved at Daytona International Speedway.

The race began with Chase Briscoe leading the field for Toyota’s first-ever pole position in the NASCAR season-opener. The drivers went three-wide early on. Carson Hocevar encountered fuel pressure issues but was able to continue. However, just 11 laps into the race, rain was detected in Turn 2, forcing NASCAR to halt proceedings at approximately 2:20 PM EST.

The stoppage lasted around three hours, with officials taking extra precautions due to previous incidents where sudden rain led to massive wrecks at Daytona. When the race was set to resume, another unexpected shower hit, causing a second red flag at Lap 21. Fortunately, this delay was much shorter, and the race eventually continued without further interruptions.
