Let's say you're not a big NASCAR fan but you're seeing coverage of the racing from Daytona International Speedway. And because of that, you think: "Wow, is the Daytona 500 this weekend?"
No, it's not. The Daytona 500 is Feb. 20 – not today or Sunday!
What's going on this weekend at Daytona is an exhibition race called the Budweiser Shootout – it's basically a warmup for the Daytona 500 and includes most of the regular drivers.
Also, the drivers are practicing for Daytona 500 qualifying – which sets who starts on the front row (the top two spots) for NASCAR's Super Bowl. The full lineup will be set later in the week with a pair of 150-mile races called the "Gatorade Duels."
But don't be too confused – if you have any questions, leave them in the comments section below and we'll be happy to explain.
The point is, if you're wondering when the Daytona 500 is, the date is Feb. 20.
