Trump’s visit to Daytona 500 ‘brought energy’ to race, NASCAR star says

President Donald Trump made history earlier this month as he became the first president to attend the Daytona 500 twice. The excitement was palpable as he visited the racetrack and met with drivers on pit lane before taking a pace lap in the presidential limousine, known as “The Beast.” Despite some inclement weather delaying the race, Trump gave a speech to the drivers before the green flag flew.

William Byron emerged victorious, winning the race for the second consecutive season and securing his 14th Cup Series win. Reflecting on his achievement, Byron expressed how special it was to have the sitting president in attendance, bringing energy and excitement to the event. He became a brand ambassador for Celsius, a fitting partnership given his dedication to fitness and training for races.

As Byron basks in the glory of being a multiple Daytona 500 winner, he looks forward to the rest of the season with a renewed sense of determination. The significance of his accomplishment has started to sink in, and he is motivated to continue his winning streak. With the support of his team and sponsors like Celsius, Byron is poised for success on the track.

The Daytona 500 was a memorable event not only for the thrilling race but also for the presidential presence and Byron’s triumph. It showcased the intersection of politics and sports, with Trump’s visit adding a unique dimension to the NASCAR spectacle.
