With a charge from 23rd place to ninth in the final two laps of Saturday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway, Josh Berry and the No. 21 DEX Imaging team were able to close out the 26-race regular season with back-to-back top-10 finishes.

Berry, who finished eighth at Richmond the week before, now has five top-10s as the Cup Series heads into the 10-race, season-ending, Championship-deciding Playoffs, which begin on Sunday with the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.

At Daytona, Berry started the 400-miler from 11th place after qualifying was cancelled due to rain. He dropped back after the drop of the green flag and steered his way around a 12-car crash before ending the first Stage, a 35-lapper, in 18th place.

In the second Stage he ran in the top 10 – and the top three for several laps – before ending that segment in 22nd place.

In the third and final segment, he ran in the top 10 for the first half of that run before getting shuffled out of the top 20 with just six laps left.

With two to go, he was in 23rd place but moved to 10th on the white flag lap and to ninth at the checkers as fellow Ford driver Ryan Blaney from Team Penske raced from 13th into the lead and took the victory.

The Wood Brothers team now turns its focus to the Lady in Black, Darlington Raceway, for the Labor Day weekend classic, where Berry and the Woods are among the 16 drivers and teams that will start the Playoffs.

Noah Gragson (34th)

Todd Gilliland Key Takeaways

Stage One: 7th / Stage Two: 18th / Race Result: 11th

“Tough way to end the regular season, I thought we had a shot to win but it didn’t pan out the way we hoped,” said Gilliland. “While it’s not the ending we wanted, I’m still proud of this No. 34 team. We showed up with a fast Grillo’s Pickles Ford and left with a result we can build off of heading into Darlington.”

Zane Smith Key Takeaways

Stage One: 32nd / Stage Two: 32nd / Race Result: 31st

“Just more tough luck,” said Smith. “Fast car, thought we could have a shot to win our way into the playoffs, and never got the chance to show it after being clipped by the 48 in that first big one. Is what it is, and we’ll try to finish out these last 10 races strong.”

Noah Gragson Key Takeaways

Stage One: 37th / Stage Two: 38th / Race Result: 38th

“We’re only on lap 27, 28 and there are guys trying to make it four-wide at the front of the pack. I was just collateral damage at that point,” said Gragson. “It’s definitely a bummer, but I’m still super proud of our team. We started almost towards the back, 32nd I think, and we were up in the top 10 20 laps in, so it’s not from a lack of effort. I just really appreciate everybody at Front Row Motorsports. We’re looking on to Darlington. It’s more in our control and look to have a strong run there.”

Coke Zero Sugar 400 – Daytona International Speedway
Daytona Beach, Fla. – August 23, 2025

AUSTIN CINDRIC No. 2 MENARDS/MAYTAG FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE
START: 5TH STAGE 1: 39TH STAGE 2: 39TH FINISH: 39TH POINTS: 10TH
RACE RUNDOWN: Austin Cindric’s night at Daytona International Speedway ended early after being swept up in a multi-car incident just before the end of Stage 1 in Saturday night’s NASCAR Cup Series regular-season finale. With qualifying canceled Friday evening due to continuous lightning in the area, the starting lineup was set per the NASCAR Rulebook, and Cindric rolled off fifth in the No. 2 Menards/Maytag Ford Mustang Dark Horse. He quickly settled into the top 10, reporting that the car was “a little on the tighter side, but not bad.” After staying out under the first caution, Cindric restarted eighth on Lap 16 but was shuffled out of the lead pack, dropping him outside the top 20. It was on Lap 27 when another caution flew, and in the ensuing chaos, Cindric was collected in a multi-car crash that caused significant damage to the No. 2 car. The team’s night was cut short, and Cindric was credited with a 39th-place finish.

CINDRIC’S THOUGHTS: “I saw a lot of cars wrecking and I hit one of them after I thought we got through the wreck. It’s just a shame for our Maytag/Menards Ford Mustang. I tried to make the third lane work, maybe a little too early, I lost some track position and felt like the intensity was picking up super early in the race there and I got collected.”

RYAN BLANEY No. 12 ADVANCE AUTO PARTS FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE
START: 1ST STAGE 1: 3RD STAGE 2: 6TH FINISH: 1ST POINTS: 4TH
RACE RUNDOWN: Ryan Blaney powered his way from 13th to the front of the field in the final two laps of Saturday night’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 to send the No. 12 Advance Auto Parts Ford Mustang Dark Horse to victory lane in a thrilling regular season finale at Daytona. Blaney’s 15th-career NASCAR Cup Series win – and second at Daytona (August 2021) – marked the first time he has won from the pole and now has three-straight seasons with multiple victories following his win in Nashville in June. Blaney began the night by leading the first 23 laps after starting from the outside of row one and was in position to win the opening stage as the Advance Auto Parts Ford fought to protect runs from the top and bottom lanes in the rearview, but a surge from the outside lane in turns three and four proved to be the difference as Blaney settled for a third-place finish in Stage 1. Following a four tire stop under caution, Blaney lined up to restart 15th but faded to the tail end of the lead pack during the opening laps of the run before getting back in the mix with 15 laps remaining in the second stage. A caution on lap 82 saw varying pit strategies unfold as crew chief Jonathan Hassler kept Blaney on the track in order to take the restart from the inside of row two with eight laps to go, resulting in a strong points return with a sixth-place effort in Stage 2. Blaney and the No. 12 team maintained the same strategy for the final run of the night as they ran towards the back of the main pack to start out prior to the caution on lap 107 to reset the field. After topping off on fuel one final time, Blaney restarted 25th with 45 laps to go and began working the lanes to fight his way forward. The eighth and final caution flag of the night set up a restart with eight laps remaining as Blaney patiently waited to form a third lane on the outside and pushed the No. 41 to the front of the field coming to the white flag. As the field made its way down the backstretch on the final lap, the No. 41 attempted to pass the No. 7 on the inside, prompting the No. 7 to block the move and leaving the top lane open for Blaney to clear them both and take the lead entering turn three before holding off all three lanes behind him to take the checkered flag by 0.031 seconds. The No. 12 team heads into the Cup Series Playoffs with momentum on its side with six-consecutive top-10 finishes entering Darlington.

BLANEY’S THOUGHTS: “Yeah, we just started rolling. I was [Cole Custer] if he wanted to go three-wide top I wanted to let him know that under caution, and I was kind of waiting for him to go and knew we were probably gonna have people go with us if we went up top, it was just a matter of who would bite first. We finally went and it kind of checked in the tri-oval and Cole jumped up and we were able to keep a bunch of momentum going and have good pushes from [Daniel] Suarez, things like that, and then I just kind of kept creeping on the top. When [Justin Haley] blocked [Custer] and the next thing I know I’m leading the lane and now I’m clear to the middle and I can play two lanes. I didn’t quite know what lane to block, the middle or top at the end. I was like, ‘Just try middle. I think we’ve got enough momentum.’ Enough to hold them off. It was a crazy last few laps, that’s for sure.”

“I think this team is really doing a good job of hitting our stride when we need to. I’ve been proud of our efforts all year, it’s just been can we smooth some things out and have some stuff go our way. It seems to be smoothing out and this team is just performing and finishing where we should. That’s what I’ve been happy with, so it’s great to win this one and good momentum for next week.”

JOEY LOGANO No. 22 SHELL-PENNZOIL FORD MUSTANG DARK HORSE
START: 4TH STAGE 1: 6TH STAGE 2: 3RD FINISH: 27TH POINTS: 12TH
RACE RUNDOWN: Joey Logano’s 37 laps led tied for the most in the field in Saturday night’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona, but a late-race spin with 13 laps to go relegated the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Mustang Dark Horse to a 27th-place finish. The Shell-Pennzoil Ford was mainstay at the front of the field from the onset of the regular season finale, but Logano’s night was nearly put in jeopardy on lap 27 when a three-wide battle in the tri-oval resulted in contact with the Nos. 8 and 23, setting off a multi-car incident. Logano was able to continue on to pick up a sixth-place finish in Stage 1 before the No. 22 team made minor repairs under caution without disrupting the balance of the car. Logano restarted from 30th and made quick work to charge to the front of the field by lap 76, but a caution six laps later saw a mix of pit strategies as crew chief Paul Wolfe made the call for fuel only in order to maintain track position heading into the final laps of the segment. Logano was in position to pick up the stage win as the leader of the bottom lane on the final lap but ultimately did not get the push he needed to do so, resulting in a third-place effort in Stage 2. Logano was back inside the top-five when the caution flag flew on lap 107, prompting another fuel only stop to try and make it to the end as he lined up to restart from the inside of row one with 45 laps remaining. Logano maintained his spot at the front of the field as the laps clicked off, blocking runs from the top and bottom lanes, but the Shell-Pennzoil Ford broke loose off of turn four and spun across the track towards the infield to bring out the caution with 13 laps to go. After needing a push to pit road due to flat tires, Logano went a lap down and ultimately settled for a 27th-place finish in an otherwise strong night from the No. 22 team.

LOGANO’S THOUGHTS: “Yeah, we were in the right place. It’s happened many, many times where we’ve been in the right place here at Daytona and we don’t have anything to show for it. Our team is so good at it. Our cars are fast. Our execution was really good today. [Spotter] Coleman [Pressley] did great. It’s just our car was a little free and then where the push came as the track flattens out there it spins the leader right out. It is what it is.”

“There are good tracks lined up. There’s good momentum. Obviously, Ryan [Blaney] getting a win, that’s good momentum as well for the team. This team has done a good job the last seven or eight weeks. A lot of weird things have happened, but we’ve done a good job controlling what we can, so that’s what you’ve got to do in the playoffs.”

The NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs begin next weekend as the Round of 16 opens at Darlington Raceway on Sunday, August 31. Coverage of the Cook Out Souther 500 begins at 6:00 p.m. ET Saturday on USA, MRN, and Sirius XM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

No. 10 Sea Best/Roma Camaro ZL1

Start: 23rd
Stage 1 Finish: 15th
Stage 2 Finish: 11th
Finish: 22nd

With weather canceling qualifying for the Coke Zero Sugar 400, Ty Dillon and the No. 10 Sea Best/Roma Chevrolet team started Saturday night’s race at Daytona International Speedway from the 23rd position. With a fast Chevy, Dillon was able to avoid several early cautions and took the lead on lap 56 for nine laps. Utilizing his superspeedway finesse, Dillon was able to maneuver through the field to avoid wrecks and run inside the top 10 throughout the 160-lap event before finishing the race in 22nd.

No. 16 Celsius Camaro ZL1

Start: 21st
Stage 1 Finish: 17th
Stage 2 Finish: 12th
Finish: 26th

After qualifying was canceled due to inclement weather, AJ Allmendinger rolled off 21st for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. When the caution came out on lap 11, the No. 16 sustained damage to the splitter while avoiding the spinning No. 66. The team repaired the damage and Allmendinger went on to race competitively inside the top 10 before dropping to the back of the pack to avoid getting caught up in a wreck. On lap 140, as the No. 16 started to move up, the car had a misfire causing Allmendinger to drop to the back of the field. He finished the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in 26th, and earned the Xfinity Fastest Lap of the Race.

Buescher 6th; Preece 14th; Keselowski 18th

DAYTONA BEACH, FL (August 23, 2025) – All three Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing cars entered Saturday night’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway in a must-win scenario, with the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs on the line. In a high-stakes, high-intensity race, the RFK Racing team showed speed, smart strategy, and resilience, though ultimately came up just short of securing a postseason berth.

17 Chris Buescher

Chris Buescher led the charge for RFK Racing, battling his way to a hard-earned sixth-place finish in Saturday night’s Coke Zero Sugar 400. While the result ultimately fell short of a playoff-clinching victory, Buescher and the No. 17 team delivered a resilient and strategic performance in one of the most intense races of the NASCAR Cup Series season.

The night got off to a challenging start as Buescher encountered a brake issue during the pace laps. A timely caution on lap 11 gave the team an opportunity to address the problem, allowing Buescher to settle in and navigate a chaotic opening stage. With multiple cautions and tight pack racing, he focused on fuel strategy and played it smart, coming home 24th at the conclusion of Stage One.

Thanks to a quick pit stop by the No. 17 team, Buescher restarted inside the top 10 to begin Stage Two. He wasted no time moving forward, drafting with a strong group of Fords and maintaining solid track position. After another well-timed caution, crew chief Scott Graves called for fuel-only service, positioning the team for a longer run. Buescher executed the plan to perfection, finishing 14th in the stage while continuing to save fuel.

The final stage saw Buescher restart from second and link up with Joey Logano, running in the lead pack for much of the closing laps. A late-race caution with 12 laps to go set the stage for a dramatic finish. On the restart, Buescher powered the inside line and challenged for the lead, controlling the draft with just a handful of laps remaining. A bold four-wide move disrupted his momentum in the final laps, but he held strong to bring home a sixth-place finish—RFK’s best result of the night.

“Our Fifth Third Mustang was so good. It handled great and pushed so well. We certainly had a shot and had the speed again, so want to be excited about that, and I am, but man, it’s just another one of those we had the ability to win this race, had the speed, had the handling, and no champagne to celebrate.”

60 Ryan Preece

Ryan Preece delivered a strong and disciplined performance in his No. 60 Kroger/Little Bites/Capri Sun Ford, steadily advancing from his 31st-place starting position to secure top-10 finishes in the first two stages. He made swift progress early in Stage One by utilizing the high line and drafting effectively, reaching the top 15 within five laps. Following a caution-filled segment — including a red flag incident he narrowly avoided — Preece maintained composure, pitted strategically, and restarted in a favorable position. He closed out the stage in eighth, reporting the car felt “a little loose” but overall was handling well.

Stage Two saw Preece continue to execute a smart race strategy. After topping off on fuel during the stage break, he initially fell back but quickly surged forward, aided by a strong push from teammate Chris Buescher. He climbed as high as second before a caution shuffled the field once again. Despite restarting outside the top 10, he worked his way forward and finished the stage in eighth for the second time, showing consistency and strong positioning throughout.

In the final stage, Preece remained a fixture in the lead pack, again working closely with Buescher and executing a fuel-saving strategy following a late caution. Running as high as fourth with 12 laps to go, he positioned himself to contend for the win, battling Justin Haley at the front. However, without drafting help in the closing laps, he was shuffled out of line and fell back, resulting in a 14th-place finish.

6 Brad Keselowski

Brad Keselowski started strong from 10th in his Consumer Cellular Ford, quickly moving up to fourth in the opening laps by drafting off Denny Hamlin. He switched drafting partners to run the bottom line with Daniel Suarez, consistently restarting near the front after several cautions. Although he avoided a multi-car accident and a red flag, a pit stop on lap 32 dropped him to 22nd late in the stage, and he finished Stage One in 11th.

In Stage Two, Keselowski’s team executed avoided a critical pit-road penalty thanks to the crew working together to prevent a fuel can from leaving the pit box. Restarting second, he ran the bottom line behind leader Cody Ware but was told to focus on fuel conservation for their strategy. After a caution and another pit stop, Keselowski restarted 18th but struggled to maintain the lead draft, falling back to finish 23rd in the stage.

In the final stage, Keselowski continued prioritizing fuel saving after topping off on lap 111, restarting 10th and running mid-pack. Although his team gave him the green light to push with 34 laps remaining, he was forced to the bottom lane with limited drafting partners, causing him to lose positions. A late caution brought him back to pit road for fresh tires and fuel, restarting 19th. He then worked the inside line and used a determined performance late to work his way up to an 18th-place finish.

Austin Dillon and the No. 3 BREZTRI AEROSPHERE® (budesonide, glycopyrrolate, and formoterol fumarate) Chevrolet Team Leave Daytona International Speedway NASCAR Playoffs Bound

Finish: 24th
Start: 7th
Points: 15th

“It was fun to head into a Daytona race locked into the NASCAR Playoffs and with a little bit less pressure on us. I hate that we couldn’t work with the No. 8 team more and help push Kyle Busch to a spot in the Playoffs. We had a chance tonight, but the race didn’t play out in our favor. We had a tough decision when the caution flag came out with 11 laps to go. We could gamble and stay out, or pit and have plenty of fuel and fresh tires on the No. 3 BREZTRI AEROSPHERE® (budesonide, glycopyrrolate, and formoterol fumarate) Chevrolet if there were multiple restarts. We opted for the tires because traditionally there’s a good chance at a big wreck in the closing laps of these races. The wreck never came and we didn’t have enough laps to regain our position. We put ourselves in a bad spot, but we’ll clean that stuff up. We’ve got 10 weeks of NASCAR Playoff racing coming up.” -Austin Dillon

Strong Run for Kyle Busch and the No. 8 Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Chevrolet Team Stalled by On-Track Incident at Daytona International Speedway

Finish: 33rd
Start: 14th
Points: 20th

“The No. 8 Cheddar’s Chevrolet was fast and we were confident in our Richard Childress Racing machine. We got wrecked late in the first stage and ended up in the garage. The whole team gave it their all and got us back on track so we were able to finish the race. I’m proud of our team and the work they did to keep us running, and now we’ll focus on Darlington.” -Kyle Busch

Fast Chevrolet for Austin Hill and the No. 33 United Rentals Chevrolet Team Before Wreck at Daytona International Speedway

Finish: 30th
Start: 36th
Points: N/A

“Bummed out for our United Rentals team. Getting caught up in a wreck that early in the race is very disappointing, but so much is out of your control during superspeedway racing. We were in the outside lane and just had nowhere to go. With qualifying being rained out, we started 36th but made moves as soon as the green flag waved. Driving to 14th in five laps showed the speed our Chevrolet had. Hate that we couldn’t compete because I felt really good about our chances to get a top-10. The No. 33 team kept digging all night, trying to make the most of it. We’ll try again in a few weeks at Bristol.” -Austin Hill
