August 21, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • NATALIE DECKER makes her return to the Xfinity Series lineup, piloting the #93 Chevrolet for DGM Racing in Friday night’s Wawa 250 at Daytona. She’s one of 39 drivers attempting to make the 38-car field, bringing her superspeedway experience to a race where anything can happen and playoff dreams hang in the balance.
  • With three races left in the regular season, the playoff picture remains fluid as drivers like Jeb Burton (-30 points) and Ryan Sieg (-38 points) sit below the cutoff line. The superspeedway format creates opportunity for upset victories that could completely reshape the playoff field, making every position crucial in qualifying.
  • Richard Childress Racing enters as the team to beat, having dominated drafting tracks this season with three wins in four superspeedway races. Jesse Love and Austin Hill lead RCR’s charge, while manufacturers face an uphill battle due to car count disparities in the high-speed, pack-racing environment that defines Daytona competition.

UPCOMING:

  • Wawa 250 Qualifying – Friday 3:00 PM ET on CW App
  • Wawa 250 Race – Friday 7:30 PM ET
