First time since 2012 that the Daytona 500 has been pushed back a full day
Joey Logano starts from pole for Team Penske
The Daytona 500, a NASCAR Cup Series race held at Daytona International Speedway in Florida, has been postponed until Monday due to two days of rain. The rescheduled race will feature Joey Logano starting from the pole for Team Penske. This is the first time since 2012 that the Daytona 500 has been pushed back a full day. NASCAR completed 20 laps in 2020 before rain halted activity, and then resumed racing on Sunday afternoon. However, fans were not able to sit through the wait for a decision on whether to proceed with the race due to poor weather forecasts earlier this month when NASCAR moved up an exhibition Clash at the Coliseum by a full day. Despite this postponement, many of the prerace activities took place as scheduled, including celebrity visits from singer and Trackhouse Racing co-owner Pitbull and actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing NASCAR's decision and the weather forecast as evidence for their claims. They also use inflammatory rhetoric when describing the rain as 'pushing' the Daytona 500 to Monday, implying that it was a negative thing rather than just a postponement due to circumstances beyond anyone's control. Additionally, there is an example of a dichotomous depiction in the sentence 'Joey Logano is set to start from the pole for Team Penske.' This implies that starting from the pole is always good and desirable, when in reality it may not be true for all drivers or situations.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that 'several drivers will try to complete 800 miles of racing at Daytona International Speedway'. This is not entirely accurate as only five drivers are competing in both races and they are not trying to complete 800 miles but rather two separate races. Secondly, the author uses selective reporting by stating that 'Daniel Suarez, AJ Allmendinger, Riley Herbst, John Hunter Nemechek and Anthony Alfredo will all compete in both races of Monday’s doubleheader'. This is not entirely accurate as only five drivers are competing in both races. Thirdly, the author uses emotion manipulation by stating that 'Suarez and Nemechek are both full-time Cup drivers' when it is not relevant to the article. Lastly, the author uses a banned phrase by using '–'

Deception
(50%)
The article is misleading in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Daytona 500 has been rescheduled for today after being postponed on Sunday due to rain.

The article claims that Joey Logano captured pole position for this year's race, setting the stage for an exciting start to racing this spring. However, it fails to mention that he won the pole in 2019 and not again in 2024.
