2024 NASCAR Cup Series at Daytona: Coke Zero Sugar 400 start times, schedule and TV

NASCAR Cup Series heads to Daytona International Speedway this weekend for the 25th round of the 2024 season.

The championship is nearing its end, with the Coke Zero Sugar 400 serving as the second-to-last race before the 10-race playoff begins.

After last weekend's FireKeepers Casino 400, the number of drivers locked into the postseason remain at 12, with race winner Tyler Reddick having already secured his spot thanks to his GEICO 500 victory in April.

This means there are only two opportunities for drivers outside the 16-driver playoff grid to win their way in, with at least two spots to be awarded on points.
