It’s time for Speedweeks at Daytona, with five full days of action on tap as racing season gets underway in earnest.
Following Ryan Preece’s win in the weather-delayed Clash at Bowman Gray, drivers should have a better feel for their cars and crews after the offseason. Now it’s time to race for points.
The week begins Wednesday with Cup Series practice and qualifying, and the next four days will feature races across various series, from Thursday’s Duels all the way through to Sunday’s main event.
It isn’t just the top-level drivers in action, either. This week brings the first races of the season for ARCA, the Craftsman Truck Series and the newly renamed O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, formerly known as the Xfinity Series.
It’s a lot to juggle, but the full rundown is below. Keep scrolling to see when and where to watch all the action from Daytona International Speedway.
