2026 America 250 Florida Duels Results

The story of the evening: manufacturer allegiance.

Chase Elliott, with a push from Carson Hocevar, secured himself a victory in America 250 Florida Duel 2 at Daytona International Speedway. It’s his third victory in the Daytona Duels, second-most of any active NASCAR Cup Series driver (second only to Joey Logano, who scored his fourth earlier in the night).

At the tail-end of the lead draft, though, it was Anthony Alfredo holding on for dear life with his DUDE Wipes Chevrolet Camaro. With BJ McLeod out of the draft, and JJ Yeley multiple laps down, all Alfredo had to do was hope for no caution and keep his vehicle moving in a forward direction.

It was a story of teammates in the late stages of Thursday’s first America 250 Florida Duel at Daytona International Speedway. At first, it was the four RFK Racing teammates who were banding together to get Corey LaJoie in the DAYTONA 500. But, when their herd thinned out, between Preece getting shuffled and Buescher getting wrecked, it became the story of the Team Penske teammates.

In turn, Joey Logano took his fourth Duel victory over Ryan Blaney and Austin Dillon.

A final-lap crash turned Corey LaJoie from the middle of the pack, and thus ended his bid at making the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway. But Casey Mears, driving the No. 66 for Garage 66, floored it through the smoke and advanced into ‘The Great American Race’.
