The upcoming Daytona 500, the first official race of the 2025 NASCAR season, is set to be a star-studded event with the possibility of President Donald Trump’s attendance. Trump has a history of attending major sporting events, including NASCAR races, and there are signs suggesting he may be present at this year’s Daytona 500.
The race, known for attracting politicians, celebrities, and athletes, will feature actor Anthony Mackie as the grand marshal and a performance by Pitbull, a part-owner of Trackhouse Racing. Amidst the excitement, speculation surrounds Trump’s potential visit to the Daytona International Speedway on Sunday.
While the White House and NASCAR have not confirmed Trump’s attendance, recent flight restrictions hint at a VIP visit to Daytona. Trump’s past involvement with NASCAR, including serving as the grand marshal in 2020, adds to the speculation. The Daytona 500, a longstanding highlight in motor racing, is scheduled for Sunday, February 16, with a start time of 2:30 p.m. ET.
Fans can catch the action on Fox, with streaming options available for those unable to attend in person. The anticipation is high as the NASCAR season kicks off with the prestigious Daytona 500, promising thrills both on and off the track.
