The 2025 Daytona 500 is here. Daytona Speedweek brought plenty of action this year, from a crash-filled Daytona Duels to a controversial finish in the Truck Series race and Saturday night’s Xfinity race.
But today is the main event … probably. After rain pushed last year’s Great American Race to Monday, NASCAR pre-emptively moved up the start time of this year’s running with more bad weather looming. President Donald Trump is expected to be at Daytona International Speedway; it wouldn’t rain on him, would it?
Chase Briscoe won pole position with Austin Cindric joining him in the front row. Can William Byron become the first back-to-back winner since Denny Hamlin in 2020? Will Bubba Wallace, Ross Chastain or Kyle Busch break through for their first Daytona 500 win? Could Joey Logano follow up his Cup Series championship with his first 500 win since 2015?
Here’s everything you need to know about the race, including TV schedule and streaming information:

Daytona 500 predictions, picks, odds
Denny Hamlin: Of the 40 or 41 drivers who suit up Sunday, Denny is the only three-time winner. In fact, he’s one of just six men to win three or more Daytona 500s. – Ken Willis
Ryan Blaney: He simply feels like a guy who’s going to win one of these — maybe sooner rather than later. He’s twice finished as the Daytona 500 runner-up (2017, 2020) and five times cracked the top 10. – Chris Vinel
