The White House announced this week that President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will attend the Daytona 500 this weekend at the Daytona International Speedway.
Not only that but— President Trump will be the Grand Marshal of the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
And not only that but— President Trump will reportedly take a lap around the track in the “Beast” presidential limo!
SCOOP: Multiple Sources tell @FoxNews that @realDonaldTrump is planning to take a lap at the @DISupdates Daytona International Speedway in the “Beast” presidential limo ahead of the Daytona 500. It’s not 100%, but that is the plan at the moment.

What’s not to love?
The Daytona Speedway President released a statement on Friday.
Daytona International Speedway President Chip Wile released a statement confirming Trump will attend the race that read, “Daytona International Speedway has been privileged to have hosted several sitting presidents of the United States over our history. We’re honored that the president of the United States has chosen to experience the pageantry and excitement of ‘The Great American Race’ by attending Sunday’s 62nd annual Daytona 500.”
It won’t be President Trump’s first time with a race car.
