The Daytona 500 NASCAR race was postponed until Monday afternoon following a visit from President Donald Trump on Sunday, according to race officials.<\/p>\n

The race was postponed after two lengthy delays totaling more than three hours. The Florida race will resume<\/a> at 4 p.m. ET Monday and be broadcast on Fox. The first delay of the day came moments after the presidential motorcade completed a ceremonial parade lap around the 2 1\/2-mile track. Trumps armored limousine, nicknamed \u201cThe Beast,\u201d exited Daytona International Speedway, and the sky opened for a brief shower that forced drivers back to pit road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Daytona 500 is the legendary display of roaring engines, soaring spirits and the American skill, speed and power that weve been hearing about for so many years,\u201d Trump told the crowd<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Trump then said that \u201cNASCAR fans never forget that no matter who wins the race, what matters most is God, family, and country.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the speech, Trump also thanked Gold Star families and military veterans who attended the race.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cTo all of the drivers, technicians, and pit crews here today, good luck and may the best team win. God bless you, God bless our military, God bless our veterans, and God bless America. Have a great race.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his speech and when \u201cThe Beast\u201d took a lap around the track, the crowd loudly cheered.<\/p>\n

The president and First Lady Melania Trump took a lap of the circuit in \u201cThe Beast\u201d after Trump gave the iconic command: \u201cGentlemen, start your engines.\u201d Trump is the second sitting president to attend the race after former President George W. Bush issued the command to drivers in 2004.<\/p>\n

Before that, former President Ronald Reagan attended a NASCAR race, the Firecracker 400, and had the honor of giving the command.<\/p>\n

The Daytona 500, considered the biggest race of the year, has served as the NASCAR season opener since 1982. The 500-mile long, 200-lap race features 40 drivers, and the winner takes home a replica of the Harley J. Earl Trophy and a prize worth about $1.5 million.<\/p>\n
