The start time of the 54th edition of the Daytona 500 hasn't been officially delayed, but its likely going to happen as rain has started to fall at the 2 1/2-mile tri-oval. Sunday's weather forecast at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona, FL calls for a better percentage for rain later in the day, however, that seems not to be the current case.

Driver introductions were scheduled at 12:40 p.m. and did happen, while fans were covered in umbrellas and went for cover.
This isn't the first time that the historic race has been bothered by weather and a delay can go on for hours because the track does have lights. So, if you're a NASCAR fan the start of the greatest race of the year might be deylaed but it probably will happen.
