Daytona 500 2019 live stream: how to watch the NASCAR race from anywhere
Unlike most other sports, NASCAR begins each season with its biggest event of the year, the Daytona 500. After 14 days of preliminary racing events as part of Daytona International Speedway’s 2019 Speedweeks event, 40 NASCAR drivers compete in the Daytona 500 - the Great American Race. Got you excited? We don't blame you. So here's all the information you need to get a Daytona 500 live stream.
The Daytona 500 - now synonymous with the Presidents' Day weekend - is held on a 2.5-mile long track so the drivers need to complete 200 laps around the oval-shaped course to reach a total of 500 miles first in order to take home the $1million purse.
Last year’s Daytona 500 was won by Austin Dillon who drove the Richard Childress #3 Chevrolet to a surprise victory after turning race leader Aric Almirola in the third corner of the final lap. William Bryon will start this year’s race first after taking pole position with a best lap time of 46.319 seconds. He will be followed by Alex Bowman who starts second after the qualifiers.
So if you’re a NASCAR fan in the US or anywhere else in the world for that matter, we’ll show you how to watch a Dayton 500 live stream online so that you don’t miss a single lap of the Great American Race.
