NASCAR fans share their perfect tailgate beverage
What are you drinking when you watch NASCAR? Mackenzie Salmon is at the USA TODAY 301 and she collected an impressive list of beverages from fans in New Hampshire.
The 67th annual Daytona 500, known as the “Great American Race,” will feature the best drivers in the sport chasing the chance to carve their names on the prestigious Harley J. Earl Trophy.
This year’s event has undergone a significant change, with the start time being rescheduled to begin one hour earlier. This decision, made by NASCAR in anticipation of possible inclement weather, means that the race, originally set for 2:30 p.m. ET, will now kick off at 1:30 p.m. ET. The aim is to ensure the race is completed before the expected rain arrives at the Daytona International Speedway.
Here’s the weather forecast leading up to the race, as the drivers prepare to rev their engines.
