West Palm Beach, Florida. Donald Trump attends Daytona 500 on Sunday, a career that, according to him, is a unifying event with a spirit that “will feed the Golden Age of the United States.”
In a presidential message published while flying to Daytona Beach, Florida, Trump said that the Nascar series opening event brings together people from all areas of life in a “passion shared by speed, adrenaline and emotion of the career”.
“From the roar of the engines on the track to the echo of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ flying through the stands, the Daytona 500 is a timeless tribute to speed, strength and unwavering spirit that makes me make me make it The United States is great, “Trump said. “That spirit is what will feed the Golden Age of the United States, and if we take advantage of it, the future is really ours.”
Trump said in his inaugural speech on January 20 that “the Golden Age of America begins at this time.”
Air Force One left Palm Beach International Airport shortly after noon and the president was traveling to Daytona Beach with several guests, including his son Eric, his grandson Luke, the secretary of Transporte Sean Duffy and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and his wife , Kathryn, the White House said. Several members of the Congress also travel with Trump.
The plane landed less than an hour later after buzzing the Daytona International Speedway. Trump was making his second appearance in the race as president. His caravan then rode on the track.
Trump was in the race in 2020 while running for a second term. He was given the honor of being the great marshal of the greatest and prestigious event of Nascar’s year and delivered the command so that the drivers start their engines. Trump also excited Nascar fans in the stands with an elevated step of the Air Air Force One strength before riding in the presidential limousine to Daytona International Speedway.
When asked what Nascar enjoyed more, Trump said during a 2020 interview with Fox News that was the courage and courage of drivers looking for “pure American glory.”
He described the Daytona 500 as a “legendary exhibition of roaring engines, high spirits and the American skill, speed and power that we have been listening to for so many years. The tens of thousands of patriots here today have come for fast cars and motor sports world class.
Sports fans are seen as inclined conservatives.
Trump honored the champion of the Nascar Cup Martin Truex Jr. and Furniture Row Racing in the White House in 2018.
A Nascar driver said that having a president by Sunday for “one of our most important days of the year is special.”
“It certainly brings many eyes and a different perspective than what we do here for this race,” said Chase Elliott.
Trump is a sports fan. He is an avid golfer and attends university football games and UFC matches.
Last weekend, the Republican made history as the first acting president to attend the Super Bowl.
