Daytona 500 2023 Preview
Coming to you live from the Daytona International Speedway in Florida is the annual Daytona 500, one of the premier NASCAR races of the season. THis marks the 42nd year in a row that the Daytona 500 has opened the NASCAR season. Additionally, 2023 is NASCAR’s milestone 75th anniversary season.
For those who are lucky enough to attend in person, the Daytona International Speedway promises, “Guests at Daytona are guaranteed to experience edge-of-your-seat excitement in a state-of-the-art motorsports facility with amenities that include more than 101,500 seats, thousands of premium club seats, 40 escalators and 17 elevators, 60 luxury suites, social ‘neighborhoods’ and three concourse levels that span the nearly mile-long frontstretch.”
NASCAR has also announced that for the fourth time, the Coke Zero Sugar 400 will once again service as “the last-chance, cutoff race for the playoffs” on Saturday, August 26. That race in 2022 ended in dramatic fashion when driver Austin Dillon “held off furious challenges by a host of drivers to take the final spot in the Cup Series Playoffs.”
“The energy and excitement of our 2022 DAYTONA 500 and Coke Zero Sugar 400 was unprecedented,” said Daytona International Speedway President Frank Kelleher in a statement. “And we expect even more in 2023. Fans will get to be a part of the pageantry of the season-opening Great American Race, as well as all of our events as part of Speedweeks Presented by AdventHealth, and we will have more experiences for families and friends alike to enjoy.
“The excitement for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 continues to be at an all-time high, especially with the introduction of NASCAR’s Next Gen car as the sport has produced a record number of winners. The pressure to get into the playoffs is immense. Just ask Austin Dillon, who has been able to win the Coke Zero Sugar 400 and punch his ticket to this year’s playoffs. We can’t wait for that same level of excitement in 2023.”
NASCAR has released the list of 42 drivers that will compete in the 2023 Daytona 500, ranging from 20-year-old Ty Gibbs to 47-year-old Jimmie Johnson.
