Jacksonville, Florida local news reporter was giving his opening lines last night on camera when a guy walked by him wearing a TRUMP2020 cap!!!. I’m surprised they didn’t stop and reshoot so as to not rile the dumbocrats.

Always with the negative waves.....

Should be a hood race!

Curious how he will arrive. Daytona airport isn’t huge not sure AF1 can land there but it would be cool to watch it land there the airport borders the track

Reagan was there to see Petty win his 200th. It was the July race. I thought he landed there right by the track.

Yes,he did. There are still shot photos of the plane landing as the 43 was going down the backstretch at speed.

Runway 7L / 25R is 10,500’ long.

Full flaps

And it looks like a lap around the track in the presidential limo is a possibility.

Trump's Daytona 500 appearance could include lap in presidential limo

Trump is planning to take a lap in the presidential car known as "The Beast"

President Trump’s appearance at the Daytona 500 on Sunday may feature a guest appearance from the presidential limousine known as “The Beast.”

Trump is planning to take a lap around the track at Daytona International Speedway prior to the venerable NASCAR event, Fox News chief White House correspondent John Roberts reported on Friday, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter. Plans have not yet been finalized.



NASCAR named Trump the grand marshal of the Daytona 500, marking the first time a sitting president has held the honor. He is the latest of several presidents to visit the historic race.



“Daytona International Speedway has been privileged to have hosted several sitting Presidents of the United States over our history,” Daytona International Speedway President Chip Wile said in a statement. “We’re honored that the President of the United States has chosen to experience the pageantry and excitement of ‘The Great American Race’ by attending Sunday’s 62nd annual Daytona 500.”

Former President George W. Bush attended the Daytona 500 in 2004. His father, former president George H.W. Bush, attended a July race at Daytona in 1992 and Ronald Reagan attended a race in 1984.

Trump’s presence at the race was first reported Wednesday when the Federal Aviation Administration issued a flight restriction over the racetrack for Sunday. The announcement of a flight restriction is standard when the president attends a major sporting event.

The U.S. Secret Service tweeted Wednesday that it was securing the Daytona International Speedway. The presidential security branch noted that drones are banned within a 30-mile radius of the event.

The Daytona 500 will mark Trump’s latest trip to a major sporting event in recent months. The president previously attended the NCAA College Football Playoff’s national championship game in January, the Army-Navy college football game in December, the Alabama-LSU college football game in November and the World Series in October.

I believe there is a cool picture of Air Force 1 departing while the race was ongoing in 2004. I swear Bush 2 left while the race was going on

Lucky for the race car drivers, The Beast will not be entered into the race.

I just retired and going to Daytona is on my bucket list. But I won’t make it this year.

The Beast weighs 22,000 lbs.

But it doesn't have a restrictor plate...

Let’s get this show on the road!

Get ‘er done !

It was gratifying to see the enthusiastic welcome our President received. He handled him self quite well and I was happy to see he buttoned his suit jacket. Nancy pelosi must be mumbling.
