xIt’s the start of the 2018 NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Season and you couldn’t ask for better weather for the Daytona 500. There was a span of a couple years that you were almost guaranteed some rain over the Daytona 500 weekend be it Saturday or Sunday and we all remember the 2012 Monday night Daytona 500. The good news for 2018 is we are mostly sunny, nice, warm and light winds all weekend long.
