Daytona 500 Postponed Until Noon Today

There is a first time for everything and now for the first time in its 54 year history The Daytona 500 was cancelled Sunday due to rain. NASCAR officials tried to wait out the storm but by 5pm it was obvious that there would be no racing at Daytona International. More rain is expected today but officials are hoping to wave the green flag at noon today. Needless to say the drivers are as anxious as anybody to get underway.
I guess I’m gonna have to win the first Monday Daytona 500,” driver Greg Biffle said. “As you can tell, I’m still in my uniform because I was optimistic that this weather was gonna get out of here and we were going to get this thing going. But I’ll have to save my energy for tomorrow.

Sounds pretty confident to me but I guess that’s what a front row spot will do for you!
