The 2018 Daytona 500 officially starts the 2018 NASCAR season, so you don’t want to miss it. Here’s how to watch the Daytona 500 live, on TV and online.
It’s time for the 2018 NASCAR season to begin, and it kicks off Sunday with the season’s best-known race. We’re telling you how to watch the Daytona 500 live and watch the Daytona 500 online so that you don’t miss any of the on-track action.
This year’s race is going to look more than a little bit different. NASCAR fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. is retired (and yes, really retired), so Alex Bowman is now behind the wheel of the No. 88 for Hendrick Motorsports. Meanwhile, Danica Patrick will be retired after Sunday, as this is her last race in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, though she’s still trying to find herself a ride in the Indianapolis 500.
In between, we have all the usual suspects, including perpetual winner at life Jimmie Johnson, the Busch brothers, and Denny “My name is not Danny Hamilton” Hamlin. And last but certainly not least, don’t forget Martin Truex Jr., who seems to have shaken off all the bad mojo in the No. 78 car by becoming the 2017 NASCAR champion. This race will be fun, so make sure you’re tuned in.
We’re giving you all the information on how to watch the Daytona 500 online or live Sunday so that you can keep up with the race from the green flag all the way to the celebration in Victory Lane.
