This weekend, we head to Daytona International Speedway for the Winn-Dixie 250. The race is Friday at 7:30 PM ET on The CW. The winner has started inside the top 10 in 13 of the past 15 races at Daytona. The two exceptions were Noah Gragson and Justin Allgaier, who both won from the 12th starting position.

Another fun fact: Chevrolet has won 15 of the past 17 NOAPS races at Daytona, while Toyota has won there only once since 2013. There have also been at least 7 cautions in 8 of the past 10 races at the track. I’ll use recent data from Daytona and other superspeedways, 2026 speed, and a few other factors when building lineups.
