I just tried a similar query on perplexity.ai. "Who won the Daytona 500 in 2023?" (the race is scheduled for February 19th)

Result: "Sterling Marlin won the 2023 Daytona 500, driving the No. 4 for Morgan-McClure Motorsports[1]. He led a race-high 105 laps and won his second career race at Daytona International Speedway[1]. The 64th running of the DAYTONA 500 was held on February 19, 2023[2]. Austin Cindric had previously won the DAYTONA 500 in February 5, 2023[3]."
