NASCAR Daytona 400 race: rain delay, start time, TV channel

The NASCAR Sprint Cup heads to Daytona today for the Coke Zero 400 race, capping off a Fourth of July racing weekend which has already included an exciting Xfinity Series race as a warm up. The holiday race comes even as one driver threatens to pull away from the pack in the Chase for the Cup standings. Today’s race has a late start time - which is getting later by the moment - and airs on a new television channel as well as a live stream online option.

Kevin Harvick continues to dominate the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings heading into today’s race, leading the pack by fifty-three points for the 2015 season. Martin Truex Jr is in a distant second place, and faces competition from Joey Logano, who is just four points behind him. Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr round out the top fie in the standings.

Today’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Coke Zero 400 race had a start time schedule of 7:00pm eastern time, but it has been pushed back indefinitely due to rain delay, and may or may not still take place tonight. The race airs on TV channel NBC, a change from earlier season FOX coverage. The race is also available as a live stream online.

Dayyona kicked off the 2015 schedule for the NASCAR Nationwide Series, now known as the Xfinity Series thanks to a title sponsorship change. But the site is a familiar one as the race takes place at Daytona ahead of the 500, and many of the faces are familiar as well: Chase Elliott and Regan Smith, who battled for the points lead all last season, were all participating in today’s race - but the winner was a less prominent driver.
