NASCAR Podcast: Preview Daytona's Coke Zero 400 Contest
These guys broke race week at Daytona International Speedway. How about NASCAR playoff pictures? Who needs to win Coke Zero Sugar 400?
NASCAR is back at Daytona! Before the Coke Zero 400 ended the regular season of the Cup Series, the XFINITY series kicked off with the Wawa 250 tonight (as long as it doesn’t rain).
Qualifications to compete in the Xfinity race will begin at Daytona International Racing, followed by Coke 0400 qualifying. Then it was time for the Wawa 250, and Ryan Truex won the championship last year. There will be a new winner in 2025, and recent results suggest that this will be Connor Zilisch. JR Motorsports Chevrolet Driver won the championship at Watkins Glen two weeks ago and has won the checkered flag in five of the last eight Xfinity games.
Jesse Love has history at Daytona, with overtime wins in February, while Justin Allgaier and Austin Hill are also recent winners. Can Natalie Decker be the first mother to win a NASCAR competition?
