Associated Press

   DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. - The Daytona 500 has been postponed by rain for
   the first time since 2012, dampening NASCAR's season opener that
   started with a ballyhooed visit from President Donald Trump.
   The race was postponed after two lengthy delays totaling more than
   three hours. The race will now begin at 4 p.m. Monday and be broadcast
   live on Fox.
   It's the second time in 62 years that "The Great American Race" will
   finish on a Monday.
