There was enough of a break in the torrential rain to allow for the running of the 2024 Daytona 500 on Monday, with William Byron taking the #24 Chevrolet to the checkered flag in the NASCAR season opener.

Rod Mullins joins AFP editor Chris Graham to break down how it happened.

We also discuss the ongoing review of fuel strategies by NASCAR, and the dispute between the team owners and the France family over how the billions that the business generates should be divided up.

A friend texted me a stat about the late New York Yankees radio guy John Sterling calling 5,271 consecutive Yankee games over a 30-year stretch, before finally taking a day off in 2019, and my initial thought: a three-game weekend series would wear me out.
