As Twitchy reported earlier, sources told Fox News that President Trump has something awesome planned for the Daytona 500: Trump is rumored to be taking a lap in the presidential limo, aka The Beast, before the race. Benny Johnson has looked into it and here’s what he’s been able to confirm:
Reached out to multiple sources with knowledge of Trump’s plan at Daytona 500.
– Trump will act as grand marshal of the race.
– Trump will give the iconic, “gentlemen, start your engines” command.
– The President *will* take a track lap in “The Beast” ahead of the Daytona 500.

Emily Singer, senior political reporter at the progressive American Independent, didn’t think the Daytona 500 could have gotten any trashier than it already was.

When did the Daytona 500 get trashy. It’s an iconic American event.

I am not a NASCAR fan, but for this I am going to watch. And vote for Trump quite enthusiastically thank you.

Thank you for proving that the media hates more than half of the country, looks down on them and has no problem lying to the people they hate.

Your reaction is exactly why Trump does stuff like this!

Congratulations, you just demonstrated why average people dislike journalists and will vote in droves for Trump.

A reporter dripping with disdain for the common man. How novel.

Do they teach bigotry at journalism school, or did you learn it as a kid?

Just another friendly reminder as to why I generally loathe journalists.
Not sorry about it either.

What do you find trashy about the Daytona 500, sans Trump appearing?

Omg. You guys have literally learned nothing.

This is why you got Trump.

People having a great time and cheering the President. Sounds awful to you, huh. Bet they sing the Anthem and fly over some jets, too. Wave the flag. But to you it's trashy. Maybe it's not them, it's you.
