A new NASCAR Cup Series season will begin on Monday afternoon with the sport’s biggest race: the Daytona 500.
Although the weather forecast could wreak havoc on festivities at Daytona International Speedway, the green flag is scheduled to fly at 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will give the command to start engines, and DJ Khaled will wave the green flag.
