2021 NASCAR Cup Series - Coke Zero Sugar 400

The Coke Zero Sugar 400 race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series, held at Daytona, served as the final race of the regular season before next month's playoffs, and with one last spot left, who will be bound for the playoffs? Let's find out!

As the green flag waved in Daytona, the last race of the regular season is underway and the first stage saw no room for error for the drivers fighting for the last playoffs spot as well as some close-call saves. With Chase Elliott won Stage 1, Stage 2 shows the race's true form as multiple cars got involved with the wreck and Aric Almirola takes responsibility for it. As Stage 2 ends with Joey Logano nailed it, the final stage is where everything's unraveled as numerous on-track disasters, even as the end approaches, left a huge impression on the last race of the regular season.
