Fox News
Heavy rain poured down at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. on Saturday, just one day before 40 drivers are set to compete in “The Great American Race.”
"Obviously, the 500 is wrapped around a lot of tradition, and we all love that and we’re grateful that we have a little bit of track time for the guys that get their hands dirty," David Wilson, head of Toyota Racing Development, said. "They always like to be able to get out there on track and make sure that everything is running as it should." Another noticeable difference will be the presence of fans or lack thereof.More Related News
