Time, TV schedule for NASCAR Daytona race

USA, Featured3 weeks ago3 Views

We’re down to one last race before the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs begin. What better place to settle things than Daytona International Speedway?

The Coke Zero Sugar 400 is the last chance for drivers to pick up a win and secure one of two open spaces in the 16-team playoffs. Tyler Reddick and Alex Bowman have those slots in the points standings entering the weekend at Daytona. Here’s hoping the rain stays away tonight.

Harrison Burton picked up his first career win and the corresponding playoff position by taking the checkered flag in overtime in the 2024 Daytona summer race. Chris Buescher, who won the 2023 Coke Zero 400, is right on the bubble, followed by Ryan Preece (who was in a nasty crash at the end of that race) and Kyle Busch.

Kyle Busch: Busch won the summer race in 2008, and he has four more runner-up finishes to his credit, including last August when Harrison Burton made a last-lap, overtime pass down the backstretch. – Chris Boyle, Daytona Beach News-Journal
Alex Bowman: He finished second last week. He often qualifies well at Daytona. In four of his last five Daytona starts, he’s secured a top-six finish. And most importantly, Bowman needs this one to clinch the 16th and final playoff spot. – Chris Vinel, Daytona Beach News-Journal
Carson Hocevar: Tell me the playoffs wouldn’t get instantly spicier if Bumper Car Carson broke into the party. – Ken Willis, Daytona Beach News-Journal
