Checkout full 2025 NASCAR Coke Zero Sugar 400 Results Daytona International Speedway, 2025 NASCAR Cup Series regular season finale.
Ryan Blaney surged from 13th to first in the final two laps to claim his second win of the 2025 season and his second at Daytona’s summertime race.
Blaney’s tactical side draft, holding off Daniel Suarez, Justin Haley, and Cole Custer in a near four-wide finish, allowed him to narrowly cross the finish line just 0.031s ahead of Suarez who finished second matching his best season finish.
Haley despite impressively leading the last lap in pursuit of his second career Cup victory, took third place but otherwise marked a career-best finish.
Custer finished fourth, marking his best result of the year and reflecting a significant improvement amid a tough season, while Erik Jones rounded out the top five.
Kyle Larson, Chris Buescher, Ty Gibbs, Josh Berry, and Chase Elliott completed the top ten, each showing resilience and strategic savvy throughout the high-pressure race.
For those chasing the playoffs, the stakes could not have been higher. With Blaney’s win denying a new winner’s automatic entry, the final 2025 NASCAR Cup playoffs grid was largely determined by points.
Tyler Reddick and Alex Bowman secured the last two spots in the 16-driver playoff field. Reddick withstood a wreck, while Bowman was unfortunately caught in a severe multicar collision in the early stage that ended his race prematurely.
Despite these setbacks, both managed to secure their spots for the NASCAR Cup playoffs on season point tallies, highlighting the highs and lows of regular season finale drama.
Notably, the race was punctuated by crashes and cautions that reshaped the competition dynamically. One key incident happened after Joey Logano, who had been leading with 12 laps remaining, lost control and spun into the grass triggering a caution and setting the stage for the dramatic final laps.
