Daytona 500 schedule: Duels, Truck Series, Xfinity races in Speedweek
The Daytona 500, aka the Great American Race, caps a week’s worth of NASCAR races from Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Rain, rain, go away! Daytona wants to race today!
The United Rentals 300 is now a night race.
The 2024 Daytona 500 schedule got flipped all over the place by weather throughout the end of Speedweek. First the Daytona ARCA 200 got moved up from Saturday afternoon to Friday night. Then the better part of Saturday’s schedule got nixed, including the NASCAR Xfinity Series race, the United Rentals 300.
It came as no surprise that the Daytona 500 got washed out, too. Now the final two races are set to complete a rare doubleheader. The Daytona Xfinity race was scheduled to start things off Monday morning, but early showers pushed it to the nightcap following the Great American Race.

Fans who grew up in the 2000s will be watching how Frankie Muniz will fare in his Xfinity Series debut. The star of “Malcolm and the Middle” and “Agent Cody Banks” finished 11th in the 2023 ARCA race at Daytona and qualified for this year’s Xfinity race. Last year’s event was won by Austin Hill and went by the totally normal “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. 300.”

The forecast for Monday afternoon in Daytona Beach is sunny, according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne, with a high near 61 degrees. Wind is expected to come from the north about 15 mph.
Meteorologists said most of the rain was expected to have moved offshore by the start time of the Daytona 500. However, showers earlier in the morning forced the Xfinity Series race to move from 11 a.m. to a 9 p.m. start.
