The Daytona 500 auto race was postponed on February 26 for the first time in its 54-year history after heavy rain saturated Daytona International Speedway.
"I know a lot of race fans are disappointed and a lot of people at home on TV, but we just hope they tune in," driver Greg Biffle said.
As utsandiego.com reports, NASCAR officials spent more than four hours waiting for a window to dry the famed track, but it never came. When the latest storm cell passed over the speedway around 5 p.m., they had little choice but to call it a day. The 500-mile race was rescheduled for February 27 noon.
