The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series regular season concludes with Saturday's Coke Zero Sugar 400 (7:30 p.m. ET, NBC) at Daytona International Speedway.
The win-and-you're-in playoff format could turn tonight's race into a wild one, but that's only if the latest NASCAR weather forecast plays nice.
Unfortunately, there is rain in the updated NASCAR weather report for Daytona, which could result in a delay or even a postponement depending on how much precipitation falls at the track.
Below is a detailed look at Saturday's forecast for Daytona, including the chances of a rain delay for the Coke Zero Sugar 400.
NASCAR Weather Forecast for Daytona
There is an 80% chance of rain in Daytona on Saturday, which then dips to 20% tonight according to the National Weather Service.
While that's not an ideal NASCAR forecast by any means, the hourly weather breakdown does offer a bit more optimism.
There's a 47% chance of rain from 7 p.m. ET, which then drops to 33% by 9 p.m. ET and 22% by 11 p.m. ET, so it appears that the rain is expected to clear out as the night goes on.
Because Daytona International Speedway has lights, NASCAR has time to dry the track and get tonight's race started (or restarted) should the rain hold off long enough to do so.
If rain is simply too intense to get in the full 400 miles, the Coke Zero Sugar 400 would be official at the halfway mark, which is the completion of lap 80.
Live NASCAR odds at DraftKings list Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney as co-favorites at +900 each, followed by Brad Keselowski (+1000) William Byron (+1200) and Kyle Busch (+1200).
