Not sure if off was mentioned yet, but "Off to the races" struck me as an i interesting term tweeted by Potus. It just occurred to me that Daytona 500 is in February and wouldn't you know it, the Great American Race is on the 17th.
From Wikipedia:
The race serves as the final event of Speedweeks and is sometimes known as "The Great American Race" or the "Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing".[4][5][6] Since its inception, the race has been held in mid-to-late February. From 1971 to 2011, and again since 2018, the event has been as associated with Presidents Day weekend, taking place on the Sunday before the third Monday in February.
