DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Eight laps into Friday night’s Coca-Cola Firecracker 250 NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Daytona International Speedway, rain slowed the proceedings, forcing a caution with Blake Koch in the lead.
With the rain intensifying, NASCAR red-flagged the event after Lap 11 and brought the cars to pit road. After a wait of more than an hour, the sanctioning body postponed the race until noon on Saturday.
The race will be broadcast live on CNBC. Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca-Cola Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race will take place as scheduled at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
Tickets for both the Coke Zero 400 and Coca-Cola Firecracker 250 will be honored and guests will be permitted to enter the stadium beginning at 11 a.m. Ticket holders for the Coca-Cola Firecracker 250 will have priority for their assigned seat until the completion of the race. Following the Coca-Cola Firecracker 250, ticket holders for the Coke Zero 400 will have priority on their assigned seat.
If a Coca-Cola Firecracker 250 ticket holder leaves the facility following the race, they will not be granted re-admission without the purchase of a Coke Zero 400 ticket.
In addition, guests who have purchased UNOH Fanzone admission for either race will be allowed into the UNOH Fanzone beginning at 10:30 a.m.
Any race tickets purchased from this point forward will provide stadium admission for both races beginning at 11 a.m.
