The Daytona 500, NASCAR's biggest event, is still scheduled for Sunday but faces a 70-90% chance of rain, threatening potential delays.
NASCAR has 30 custom-made vehicles on-site to dry the track, using high-pressure air systems and heated jet fuel for the drying process.

The National Weather Service forecasts a 90% chance of rain for both Saturday and Sunday, with a slight improvement to 20% on Monday.
