How to watch the Daytona 500 online from anywhere
Let's say you're away from home this weekend, perhaps even out of the country, but you still want to watch the Daytona 500 using your favorite service. What are you to do? A virtual private network may be your best friend if this happens to you.
A VPN routes your traffic through a specific country, so it makes it look like your computer is still at home. That's pretty handy, but which service should you use?
We recommend ExpressVPN. It's got a free trial, and it's super-easy to use on any of your devices. And it makes it possible to watch this race no matter where you are.
