Considered the Super Bowl of stock car racing, the Daytona 500 has served as the NASCAR season opener since 1982. The 200-lap, 500-mile-long race will feature 40 drivers on the track of the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach.
The winner takes home a replica of the Harley J. Earl Trophy and about $1.5 million.
Earlier Sunday, President Donald Trump welcomed NASCAR fans to the start of the race with a lap around the track in his presidential limousine.

CNN’s Kate Bennett, Noah Gray, Devan Cole and Francisco Guzman contributed to this report.
