Monday, February 27th, 2012 -- 10:27 AM
NASCAR's biggest event of the year is now scheduled to get under way tonight at 6 p.m., a day after the much-anticipated season-opening stock car race was postponed by rain for the first time in its 54-year history.The 500-mile race initially was rescheduled for noon today, but NASCAR president Mike Helton announced the change because it was still raining at Daytona International Speedway this morning. Carl Edwards, runner-up to Tony Stewart in last year's championship race, will start from the pole. Former IndyCar star Patrick will make her Daytona 500 debut.
