The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will go superspeedway racing this Saturday under the lights at Daytona International Speedway.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series returns to the World Center of Racing on Saturday night for the 2018 Coke Zero Sugar 400. This will be the second and final stop at Daytona International Speedway in the 2018 season. We’re in for 400 miles of nose-to-nose racing on Saturday night and we may see some unfamiliar faces running up front.

Last Sunday, the Cup Series competed in the Overton’s 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. This race was arguably one of the best of the season. The closing laps provided fans with an epic battle for the win between Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson. In the end, it was Kyle Busch prevailing as the race winner. Even more exciting was getting to hear Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s take on the race action from the booth.

It’s now time for the third different style of racing in three weeks at Daytona International Speedway. We have gone from the road course race at Sonoma Raceway, which was won by Martin Truex Jr. and great pit strategy, to a more conventional race at the 1.5-mile Chicagoland Speedway oval, where Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson battled it out to the very end, and now to a superspeedway race at Daytona, which should provide us with another great finish. Here are the five drivers most likely to win the Coke Zero Sugar 400 this weekend.
