Best Answer

During the 2012 Daytona 500, something in Juan Pablo Montoya's car broke while he was driving around the track under caution, sending his car up the race track and into the rear of one of the jet dryers which was cleaning up the debris. Jet fuel poured down the banking of the track and a spark set the fuel on fire.

Was the Daytona 500 ever postponed?

The first Daytona 500 was on Febuary 22, 1959. And NASCAR has been established before the start of the Daytona 500, so the answer your question...no. No, it was not. For example, for most of the time that NASCAR raced there, the now gone, Riverside International Raceway (CA), a road course was the first race of the season. There was no "Daytona 500" until the speedway was built in 1959. Even before that, the races on the beach at Daytona were not the first race of the season.

The 1979 Daytona 500
