The NASCAR Daytona 500 commenced on Sunday, February 16, but Florida rain screeched the race to a halt for a while — several hours to be exact. As high winds and torrential rain hit Daytona Beach, attendees and drivers were forced to wait it out. So, who won the 2025 Daytona 500?
Multiple celebrities, including Captain America: Brave New World star Anthony Mackie, were at the race. The 46-year-old Marvel Cinematic Universe hero gushed over how “amazing” it was to attend the event “and be welcomed this way,” per the Associated Press.
“The movie being No. 1 on top of that, with America’s great race, you know, it’s phenomenal, man,” Anthony said. “I think it’s one of those moments where the perfect two things culminated at the right time. I couldn’t have asked for a better time.”
In addition to Anthony, Donald Trump was also at the Daytona 500 for a brief time.
