For the first time in it's 54 year History, the Daytona 500 has been postphoned by Weather. Four times in previous years the race had been Shortened by inclement Weather (NASCAR RULES declare a Race "Official" if they have to call it due to Inclement Weather or some other Incident if more than half the race has been run). The last time this happened was in 2009, Matt Kenseth was in the lead when officials called it a race, declaring him the Winner).
