Donald Trump Expected to Attend Daytona 500 Sunday

President Donald Trump is expected to attend the Daytona 500 on Sunday and may also be joined by the First Lady and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, officials said Wednesday.

"The president will be here for the Daytona 500. That is all of the information I have at this time,” Joanne Magley, a spokeswoman for the Volusia County-run Daytona Beach International Airport wrote in an email to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

U.S. Secret Service tweeted Wednesday that it was securing the Daytona 500 by establishing a 30-mile "no drone zone" around the racetrack.

Speedway spokesman Andrew Booth avoided confirming that Trump would be attending when asked by the News-Journal about any pre-race security measures fans will need to be aware of.
