DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--  President Donald Trump told 2000,000-plus NASCAR fans here at Daytona International Speedway there are three things more important than who wins today's Great American Race.  

"No matter who wins the race, what matters most is God, family and country," Trump said from Victory Circle, the First Lady by his side, to deafening cheers from the vast majority of the fans, drowning out the much smaller smattering of boos from the Never Trumpers.
