The Coke Zero 400, a NASCAR Cup Series race, takes place at Daytona International Speedway, on Saturday, August 26, 2023 (8/26/23).
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — There’s sure to be high drama on the high banks of Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night. Maybe even more than usual.
“It’s definitely a nailbiter for the guys that are on that bubble, but it’s also a big opportunity for guys that are on the outside looking in,” said 2017 series champion Martin Truex Jr., who missed the playoffs by three points last year at Daytona. “They have a chance in one of the biggest wild-card races of the year to shake things up and get into the playoffs, one last shot.”
Fourteen others can knock out the Toyota trio by winning the Coke Zero Sugar 400. No one would be surprised to see it happen because the all-or-nothing group includes Elliott and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Alex Bowman, two guys who usually have speed at superspeedways, as well as former Daytona winners Cindric, Austin Dillon, Aric Almirola, Erik Jones and Justin Haley.
“Nothing’s guarantee. You got to go out and fight for it. I continue to say that, so we’re going to have to put it all on the line this weekend and get ourselves locked in.”Fifteen drivers are locked into the 16-car playoff field: Truex, Denny Hamlin, Byron, Christopher Bell, Kyle Larson, Brad Keselowski, Chris Buescher, Ross Chastain, Ryan Blaney, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Tyler Reddick, defending series champion Joey Logano, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Michael McDowell.
