The rain brought out the red flag after just 11 laps of action, with a lengthy delay ensuing.

As a result, the broadcast team had plenty of air time to fill on Sunday evening and some of it was spent talking about a young TikTok star causing a storm of his own at Daytona International Speedway.

Who is the Rizzler?

As mentioned, The Rizzler is a social media sensation, with 1.5 million followers on TikTok and over 1 million on Instagram.

On TikTok, the young star — who posts videos with his father — has amassed 35.6 million views and is perhaps best known for doing the 'rizz face'.

During the Daytona 500 broadcast, the FOX team were interviewing Ross Chastain, and it transpired that he had asked The Rizzler for a picture earlier.

After the picture was shown, the team cut to one of their reporters who was with Cup Series driver Noah Gragson outside of his trailer.

Gragson was joined by The Rizzler, with the two chatting away. The social media sensation even encouraged FOX presenter Chris Myers to pull the 'rizz face' at the end of the interview.

According to social media, after the interview, the young star took time to take photographs with his fans, with the social media sensation proving a hit with the crowd and drivers alike at Daytona.
