What time does the Daytona 500 actually start? The Daytona 500 is listed as an 1 p.m. Eastern start time, but it’s important to note the green flag won’t actually fly until 1:29 p.m. So if you’re looking to tune in just as the race is about to start, perhaps flip on your TV at 1:17 p.m. – that’s when co-grand marshals Kate Upton (the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model) and Glee’s Jane Lynch will give the command for drivers to fire their engines. WWE superstar John Cena will then wave the green flag at 1:29.
Race name/distance: The Daytona 500 is NASCAR’s greatest spectacle, most prestigious race and also its Sprint Cup Series season opener. NASCAR’s Daytona races used to take place on the hard-packed sand of Daytona Beach itself, but this will be the 54th year of running 500 miles on the 2.5-mile high banks of Daytona International Speedway.
