The 2024 Daytona 500 faced a postponement from Sunday to Monday due to adverse weather conditions, marking the first outright postponement since 2012. The two NASCAR races, Xfinity and Cup Series, which were originally scheduled in Daytona on Saturday and Sunday, were rescheduled to take place consecutively on Monday due to the weather delay. Drivers like Denny Hamlin prepared their strategies for the rescheduled Daytona 500. Notably, the Daytona 500 this year saw high-profile celebrities like DJ Khaled and Pitbull, looking to bring South Florida flair to the race along with The Rock , while NASCAR drivers faced changes in their routines such as foregoing practice runs for significant personal events like the birth of children.

Anticipation for the Daytona 500 was high, with gambling platforms offering special promotions for NASCAR betting enthusiasts. Michael McDowell was set to start on the front row, and Alex Bowman was geared up for redemption during the 2024 Daytona 500. The race was set to feature the Next-Gen car, representing the latest updates in NASCAR technology for the season. With many contenders in the mix, including Joey Logano as a favorite following the Duel races , the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement and expectation for the Great American Race.

Meanwhile, some NASCAR teams stirred anticipation by hiring top antitrust lawyers, indicating potential behind-the-scenes legal actions on the eve of the Daytona 500. Despite the postponement causing a shift from the traditional weekend timing, fans tuned in eagerly to watch the rescheduled Daytona 500 on Monday, turning their attention to the track as action-packed racing unfolded.

Daytona 500 postponed due to poor weather conditions

Yardbarker - 347 days ago - NASCAR fans who are eagerly awaiting the start of the 2024 season will have to wait one more day. The Associated Press passed along the announcement that the Daytona 500 has been postponed until Monday due to inclement weather that has brought "two days of rain" to Daytona International Speedway. The final practice on Saturday was canceled, and the Xfinity Series race was postponed to 11 a.m. ET on Monday. The Daytona 500 is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. ET. The event was last postponed for a day in 2012. In 2020,  the race ran for 20 laps before rain halted it, forcing drivers to restart the following day.  Postponing the event protects drivers and ensures that fans don't have to endure unfavorable conditions. Earlier this month, the Clash at the Coliseum — an exhibition race — moved up one day due to heavy rainfall in Los Angeles. Team Penske's Joey Logano — the 2015 Daytona 500 winner — earned pole position on Wednesday night. The two-time Cup Series champion only won one race last season but believes he c
