NextEra Energy 250 2023 Preview
Front Row Motorsports-Ford’s Zane Smith is the reigning Truck Series Champion of the 100-lap, 250-mile race, which will kick off the Truck Series. Chase Elliott, Corey Heim, Grant Enfinger and Ty Majeski are all expected to give Smith a run for his money in his desire to repeat as champion.
There are also several first-timers scheduled to make their respective debuts in the event.
“This race is going to be super cool to get started in Daytona in front of the home crowd,” Daniel Dye, who will be making his first Truck Series start, said about the race. “You know, racing at Daytona is just one of those things that I’ve always wanted to do, and I got to do it last year in the ARCA Menards Series, but to come back and do it in the NASCAR Truck Series this year is going to be really cool. I don’t think there’s any better place to start than at Daytona, and getting to run in front of my friends and family is going to be really special.”
Rev Racing is also set to make their NCTS debut in the event with driver Nick Sanchez repping them. “I am more than ready for this next move in my career,” Sanchez said. “I feel extremely confident in my crew and the package we are bringing to Daytona. A lot of effort has gone into the off season and we are eager to get back to the track. I am grateful for the support from both Chevrolet and Gainbridge and look forward to bringing some great results in Daytona and throughout the remainder of the season.”
A total of 43 trucks will be narrowed down to 36 after Thursday’s qualifying round.
Per Sports Illustrated, “The asphalt circuit features 31-degree banking in the turns, 18 degrees in the tri-oval and a flat two-degree run on the back straightaway.”
