USA TODAY – Just a week after attending the Super Bowl, President Donald Trump made an appearance at another great American sporting event, the 2025 Daytona 500.
The 47th president arrived in Daytona Beach, Florida, a little after 1 p.m. ET and at Daytona International Speedway shortly after as some drivers and team owners awaited Trump’s arrival. The President took a lap around the 2.5-mile track and received loud cheers when he was shown as the national anthem neared its conclusion.
He came down to pit road to meet race teams and notable NASCAR legends, including “The King” Richard Petty, and spoke to Fox Sports’ Jamie Little before heading back to the presidential limo and leading the drivers onto the track for pace laps ahead of the start of Sunday’s race.
