Daytona 500: Viewing Details, Start Time, Driver Lineup and Predictions for the 2025 Race
The Daytona 500, known as The Great American Race, is anticipated to be an exciting event this Sunday as weather concerns prompt an earlier start time.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – It is often said that cathedrals exist around us, if we have eyes to see them. The sands of Daytona Beach, while not particularly remarkable to the average visitor, hold great significance for racers.
Over a century ago, these shores became a testing ground for speed, eventually giving rise to organized NASCAR racing. The Daytona International Speedway, a one-of-a-kind racetrack, is now the pinnacle of stock car racing.
For the 67th year, top drivers from NASCAR converge on the speedway for the coveted Daytona 500. This race can define a career and secure one’s legacy in the sport.
The starting order has been established, with Chase Briscoe on the pole position. This marks a significant moment as the first Toyota to ever earn this spot. Austin Cindric and Bubba Wallace will follow closely behind on the starting grid.
“A great way to start our season. Unbelievable for Toyota,” says Briscoe after his qualifying run.

As anticipation builds for the Daytona 500, notable drivers including former champions are vying for victory. However, many well-known racers have yet to clinch this prestigious title.
NASCAR faces a dynamic shift with only eight former Daytona champions in this year’s race and a diverse field of international participants. The possibilities seem boundless as the race approaches.
