NASCAR's Daytona 500 is no stranger to rain delays.
Last season, NASCAR's season-opening event was delayed for almost six hours due to rain.
The 2020 Daytona 500 required a Monday a finish after completing just 20 laps before rain completely washed out the event on Sunday.
So, looking ahead to Sunday's Daytona Beach, Florida, weather forecast, is there a chance that we see rain impact NASCAR's biggest race once again?
Or can we expect to see all 500 miles completed without delay on Sunday?
Let's take a look at the latest Daytona 500 weather forecast ahead of this afternoon's race.
