Next Weekend
Fireworks will go off as we head to Daytona for the Coke Zero 400! We remember very well how last year's race ended and hope it doesn't happen again. The defending race winner (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) is still winless in 2016 and with now 11 finishes outside the top 10, Jr will need to find something or he could be locked out of the chase. He finished 36th in the Daytona 500 in February so we will have to see. Also some drivers look at this to be their last shot at a win and some like Michael McDowell will look to rebound from Sonoma. NASCAR also moves to NBC begining Next Weekend so be sure to set your DVR's!
