if you don't know nascar, you heard of the daytona 500.ting positions for the 21 daytona 500 were determined in thursday's duals. 30,000 tickets, the capacity is a little under 102,000 and the fans screened with the temperature checks, they'll have to wear a mask. kind of like i said the same story for any type of -- any type of sporting event that's being held during covid. it would be largest sporting event since covid began. since there's no fans they'll be doing with twitter messages which i think is pretty neat but daytona 500 is at 2:30 sunday but coverage all weekend long. back to you. maria: be sure to tune in sunday 2:30 for the 63rd daytona 500, it is live on fox. don't miss it. right here. mornings with maria next. ♪ liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪ ♪ zenio, the only one of its kind proven to help you live significantly longer when taken with fulvestrant, regardless of menopause. verzenio + fulvestrant is for hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer that has progressed after hormone therapy. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydrati

turns out that the 358 time was the charm for nascar's michael nic dowd. >> such a great way to get a first victory. daytona 500. are you kidding me? >> this was amazing. he was 100 to 1 longshot last night but he avoided a wreck on the final lap to win the daytona 500, his 1st cup series win in 14 years. and now, he can finally tell his wife what ken bastida always tells his. honey, i told you so. >> you can ask my wife because you know, she, she is more realistic, and she is jujust l man, i don't think it is in the cards, like come you know, i just, for whatever reason, i don't know. and i'm like it's going to happen. i just know it is. >> reporter: daniel berger won the pebble beach program by two strokes, things to an eagle putt on the 72nd holy. shot 65 of the crowded leaderboard. he may have been the only people not surprised to see him hoist the trophy. >> i do feel like i'm underrated but that's okay, i think it puts a little chip on my shoulder. my goal has always been to be the number one player in the world, and some people will laugh at that and that is fine. >> ken bastid

. >>> nascar dropped the checkered flag on their 2021 season with a super bowl or race. the second straight year weather is wreaking havoc on the daytona 500. weather was nice enough early in the day to start the race, got 15 laps and before the rain and lightning came with kevin hardwick leading. the delay is currently at five hours and counting. last year's race was suspended due to weather and had to finish on monday. four years ago kevin durant faced a hostile crowd in his return to oklahoma city. last night a much different environment, and the first game back here in the bay area. first up there were no fans, there were no fans there, but the warriors had a video tribute for durrant, who scored 20 points in the next 134-117 win. it was the first game in golden state, since he bolted for brooklyn in 2019 after winning two finals mvps, in three seasons golden state. he and his former team have not forgotten those memories. >> tribute video was cool. i think about those memories daily. it was so much fun. >> he was three years of just incredible basketball, you know,

one i think it's logistics number 2 it's just depending on what the sport they're for instance in nascar which is one of the other 1st sports that was back by not having fans allowed us to use camera angles that we hadn't used before so there's definitely some pluses and minuses in terms of. what you're able to do the have been a lot of positives when the big wins it's been the choice of being able to listen to the game the set the natural sound of the game i think what you get out of pick up is a lot of tactical conversations and i fascinating to people i have quite the older and you know how they go about coaching. the coronavirus isn't going anywhere just yet and so for the time being the fans in the stands are going to be. people tuning in from home despite the advance graphics and the. sports program the never match the hikes it's creeping on the t.v. because when it comes to televised sporting spectacles not just about what the players playing for the field it's also about broadcasting in the crowd and playing for the game. and finally unless you had your feeds switched off this pa

we're not nascar we're not.david, it's not. we're not wwe. we're not nascar we're not great grand theft oughto and not call of duty. we're like business. stocks companies, money and not losing people money. that's what we're doing. >> understood. but right now a lot of people are making money. >> that's the froth-o-meter. >> an enormous amount of capital coming into businesses which might not otherwise get it and which may result in positive things and there will probably be a break through in the ev and battery technology that will be beneficial for everybody and there will probably be an urban mobility, i don't know, a flying car or not, that will be great, that will be you a ton n, autonomous one day and maybe they would have found it, but it would have been more expensive capital, so it will be interesting, but there are going to be a lot of losers too. never a doubt about that. >> and remember talking about hormel and the nut deal, it's not interesting. >> it's not. >> but it is interesting it is a great co

these cars aren't driving into the texas motor speedway for the next nascar race rather it's to get a covert 19 vaccine a goal give roughly 10000 vaccines per day if you want lots of people vaccinated you make it 1st person 1st come 1st serve if you want to reach the people who need it most need to be more targeted and to reach out to different communities and that's the problem state by state there's a different agenda but no matter the agenda there's still not enough currently the demand for vaccines is enormously higher than this supply and while that supply will get better it's probably not going to get much better for another month or 2 or more the clock is ticking with the c.d.c. projecting almost 550000 deaths by the end of february and more variants of covert 19 if people don't get vaccinated we're trying to calculate the numbers but probably somewhere in the $5.00 to $10000.00 range that will be going directly to pharmacies in colorado 50 pharmacies in colorado as among the many states that will start feb 11th giving out covert vaccines at local pharmacies the biden administr

the fbi, they are spending more time investigating lady gaga's missing dog and the garage pool at nascars than the 10 months of arson and burning that happened in america. the fact that they can totally ignore dozen more deaths, millions more in damage, and not even think about it, it's like jeff zucker of cnn and jussie smollett teamed up together to run the fbi. it's lunacy and it's happening before our very eyes. jesse: your father will be speaking at cpac on sunday. how is he doing? and can you give us a preview of what to expect? >> i think he's doing great. the people, the base is 100% united behind donald trump. all of a sudden they are backtracking because as the republican party typically does. they don't know how to read the room well. when i walk around the room at cpac, the amount of love for my father's policies. it's absolutely incredible. i think you will see talk of that. you will see talk of this just being a different republican party. one that isn't just in to losing while being graciously received at the cocktail parties if you washington, d.c. that's what our establi
