...President Trump is taking part in this year's Daytona 500.Not as a driver, but as grand marshal, which means he gets to give the "Start your engines" command to the 43 entrants in The Great American Race.

...It'll mark the first time a president, sitting or former, has ever held the role.

...The only other time a sitting president attended the race was when George Bush came in 2004, the year Dale Earnhardt Jr. won his first 500.

...Joe Nemechek will be driving a Mike Harmon Racing car in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday sponsored by the Patriots PAC of America that will have Trump/Pence 2020 logos on it.
