An entire season’s work comes down to this for 17 drivers and teams. It’s time for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway — the final NASCAR Cup Series regular-season event of 2023.
The race will be carried live by NBC on Saturday, August 26 at 7:00 PM ET.
While they’ve had a less-than-stellar season, Stewart-Haas Racing has brought four rocket ships to Daytona, and two of those machines will roll from the front row of Saturday’s big race.
Chase Briscoe secured the pole, which is his first pole of the season and second of his career, on Friday. Aric Almirola will line up alongside from the second position. Ryan Preece will start from seventh, and Kevin Harvick, the one driver in the stable that is locked into the Playoffs, will start from 10th.
