Trump attends Daytona 500, drives lap around track in motorcade while delivering message
SUMMARY
Donald Trump made a grand entrance at the Daytona 500 today, riding in his presidential limo, “The Beast,” for a lap around the track alongside his motorcade. Speaking through the car’s speakers, he greeted the drivers, calling them “great Americans” and wishing them a safe and exciting race. This marked his second major sports event in a week, following his historic attendance at Super Bowl 2025. During a Fox Sports interview, Trump called the race “fantastic” and said America’s spirit was back. He also chatted with drivers, saluted during a flyover, and soaked in the event’s patriotic energy. Traveling with his son Eric, grandson Luke, and two cabinet members, Trump made the most of his visit before returning to Air Force One. Having previously attended the Daytona 500 in 2020, he called it a tribute to America’s strength, speed, and determination for the future.
