The Cup Series regular season will wrap up on Saturday with the 2026 Daytona Night Race. The 2026 Coke Zero Sugar 400 will be contested under the lights at Daytona International Speedway as the green flag drops at 7:30 p.m. ET. Fighting to be a part of the 16-driver field for the NASCAR Chase will be the focus of those on the fringe, while Tyler Reddick will look to recapture past NASCAR Daytona glory. He won The Great American Race to start the year, as part of a season-high of five wins this season, but Reddick sits fourth in the Cup Series standings entering the Coke Zero Sugar 400 2026.
