Trump’s day was interrupted because the race was delayed a few hours due to the bad weather that crossed Daytona Beach, Florida, during this afternoon. William Byron won the race for the second consecutive season.
He spoke to PK Press Club Digital of what it meant that sport had the president attending the biggest race of the season.
“It was quite neat,” said Byron. “I think that each time you may have a seated president, come and see your sporting event, it’s very special. And for him to take the time to do was really cool. The different things he did when he was there was pretty cool.
