Where is NASCAR driver Martin Truex Jr. starting in the 2025 Daytona 500?
Drivers would do just about anything to win this coveted checkered flag and put themselves in NASCAR's history books forever, but so much goes into winning the race. Ending the Daytona 500 in Victory Lane requires more than a fast car: Teams need perfect race strategies executed perfectly, along with fast pit stop. And, of course, a little bit of luck.
DAYTONA 500 ODDS: Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch are favorites for NASCAR's season opener
While there are Daytona 500 favorites, all these factors also mean anyone can win at Daytona International Speedway, regardless of the starting lineup. But starting position counts for something too.
So where is Martin Truex Jr. starting in the 2025 Daytona 500?
The 2017 NASCAR Cup Series champion retired from full-time racing at the end of the 2024 season, but he's back for the Daytona 500. The No. 56 TRICON Garage Toyota driver will start the Daytona 500 from the 39th position in row 20.
The 2025 Daytona 500 is set for Sunday, February 16 at 1:30 p.m. ET on Fox. The race was originally scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET but was moved up because of weather.

Why NASCAR's 2026 Cup Schedule Feels More Like Refinement Than Reinvention
The wait is over. NASCAR released the 2026 schedules for its top three touring series Wednesday and while 2025 was a year of surprises, 2026 looks more like a year of refinement—trading international flair and big experiments for a reshuffled deck of classics, a new San Diego street race on a Navy base, and the long-awaited return of North Wilkesboro as a full points-paying stop. The stops include tracks where there some winners, losers, and some odd choices of dates. Yes, North Wilkesboro gets a race that actually means something, its first points-paying race since 1996, but at the expense of Dover Motor Speedway a storied track in the annuals of the sport. NASCAR has raced at the 1-mile concrete oval in the First State since 1969 when Richard Petty became the first winner. The track held two races a season until 2021 when it lost a date to Nashville Superspeedway. Next season, Dover's lone date becomes the All-Star Race, which, outside of a hefty check, means very little in the bigger picture. But Dale Earnhardt Jr., who helped resurrect North Wilkesboro, isn't complaining. "You know I'm a big believer in the value of short track racing and its history in our sport, so to me this is the biggest news on the 2026 schedule," he said. Meanwhile Dover reached out to a politician for part of its response. 'Hosting the NASCAR All-Star Race at The Monster Mile is a win for Delaware's economy and tourism industry,' said Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer. 'In 2026, as we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, fans from across the globe will come here for the thrill of race weekend, discovering our beaches, history, and hospitality along the way.' Ending by dropping a line straight out of Talladega Nights: 'And take it from the First State: if you're not first, you're last!' And take it from the First State: if you're not first, you're last!' In another curious move, Watkins Glen International, the famous road course long a summer staple, shifts to Mother's Day. Traditionally that date was reserved for tracks on life support, a last chance before the axe. And in upstate New York, May doesn't guarantee sunshine. Snow isn't unheard of, meaning fans might be swapping T-shirts for mittens. Other shuffles include Atlanta, er, 'EchoPark' Speedway, swapping dates with Sonoma. The spring Darlington race moves earlier, replacing Homestead's spring slot—Homestead in turn closes the season a move we already knew. Speaking of returns, NASCAR heads back to Chicagoland Speedway in 2026. The Joliet oval lost its date when the pandemic scrapped the 2020 season, and when the 2021 schedules were revealed, it was quietly left behind after hosting Cup races since 2001. It was already well known that NASCAR's trip outside the States to Mexico wasn't going to be happening, and that date is replaced by Pocono. The former Pocono date will belong to San Diego the race held on the streets of a Navy base that made news when it was announced a few weeks ago. Speaking of street races, NASCAR will return to Chicago, not to race on that city's streets but in 2026 but at Chicagoland Speedway. The 1.5-mile oval in Joliet was left behind when the pandemic cancelled races everywhere in 2020, and when the 2021 schedules were revealed, the speedway was left behind after hosting NASCAR since 2001. The overall structure of the Playoffs remains featuring the same familiar mix and will end at Homestead-Miami for the first time since 2019. At the end of it all, there is no real 'wow' in the 2026 schedule. It's a little Southern California sun, a little more nostalgia, and no need for a passport. As always, some fans will hate it, some will love it, still others won't care. But come 2026 at Bowman-Gray Stadium the preseason Clash will kick off the season and at the end of it all a champion will be crowned. For those haters bemoaning the schedule for next year. As NASCAR has displayed in the last few years the schedules are no longer sealed in concrete, but more a Spotify playlist—one year it's classic rock, the next it's EDM, and we are all just along for the ride.

NASCAR: Will a surprise winner again steal one of the last two Cup Series playoff spots available at Daytona?
Fourteen of the 16 spots in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs are taken. Austin Dillon's surprise win at Richmond made him the 14th winner of the 2025 season. The victory came a year after Dillon won at Richmond when he crashed Joey Logano on the last lap in an attempt to get a playoff berth. Though Dillon officially kept the win, NASCAR revoked his playoff privileges from the victory and Dillon failed to qualify for the postseason. This year, he's in. Dillon became the third driver to get a victory in 2025 despite currently sitting outside the top 20 in the points standings. Josh Berry (22nd) won the third race of the season at Las Vegas. And Shane van Gisbergen (24th) has dominated road courses thanks to his excellence in Australian Supercars. But he doesn't have any top-10 finishes on oval tracks. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] With Dillon winning his way into the playoffs, there are just two playoff spots up for grabs on Saturday night at Daytona (7:30 p.m. ET, NBC). If a winless driver becomes the 15th winner of the season, just one driver will make it into the playoffs via his position in the points standings. And you don't have to go back very far to find the last time a driver snuck his way into the playoffs at Daytona. A year ago, Harrison Burton got the lone victory of his Cup Series career to get into the playoffs. Burton led only the final lap as the seven-caution race featured two massive crashes. Can a similar surprise happen in 2025? Here's a look at how the playoff race looks ahead of the final race of the Cup Series regular season. All odds are from BetMGM. Already in the playoffs Denny Hamlin (4 wins) Shane van Gisbergen (4) Kyle Larson (3) Christopher Bell (3) William Byron (2) Chase Elliott (1) Ryan Blaney (1) Chase Briscoe (1) Bubba Wallace (1) Joey Logano (1) Ross Chastain (1) Austin Cindric (1) Josh Berry (1) Austin Dillon (1) Larson and Hamlin are the co-favorites for the Cup Series title at +400 while Bell is at +450. Van Gisbergen is currently third with 22 playoff points but is 80-1 to win the title thanks to his inability to get a top-10 outside of a road course. Elliott's early end to his Richmond race means that William Byron will win the regular-season title and start the playoffs with the most playoff points. The Team Penske trio of Blaney, Logano and Cindric are the three favorites to win Saturday night's race thanks to their prowess at drafting tracks. Blaney and Logano are 10-1 to win while Cindric is 12-1. Would love a repeat winner Tyler Reddick (714 points) Alex Bowman (685 points) Both Reddick and Bowman would love a Team Penske driver — or any driver with a win, for that matter — to get to victory lane if neither of them are going to make it. Bowman is 60 points ahead of Chris Buescher in the points standings; Buescher cannot catch him without getting a win to automatically qualify himself for the playoffs. If there is a new winner, Reddick has a 29-point advantage over Bowman for what would be the final playoff spot. But we've seen points deficits like that get erased at tracks like Daytona and Talladega before. All it takes is an early crash. Needs to win to get in Chris Buescher (20-1 to win Daytona) Ryan Preece (25-1) Kyle Busch (14-1) Ty Gibbs (35-1) AJ Allmendinger (60-1) Brad Keselowski (13-1) Carson Hocevar (35-1) Michael McDowell (40-1) Erik Jones (40-1) John Hunter Nemechek (60-1) Zane Smith (60-1) Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (20-1) Daniel Suarez (40-1) Justin Haley (60-1) Todd Gilliland (50-1) Ty Dillon (30-1) Noah Gragson (50-1) Cole Custer (60-1) Riley Herbst (80-1) Cody Ware (200-1) Keselowski and Busch are considered the favorites among the winless drivers to get a win and make the postseason. It's been a rough year for both former Cup Series champions. Busch is 16th in the points standings and has just two top-five finishes. Keselowski has shown speed recently, but he's 19th with four top-five finishes. Keselowski could be staring at all three of his Roush Fenway Keselowski cars missing the playoffs if neither he, Buescher or Ryan Preece win on Saturday. Buescher and Preece are currently 11th and 13th in the standings, respectively. In most years, that's enough to get you into the postseason. Not this year with three winners outside the top 20 in the standings. Both Stenhouse and McDowell are former Daytona 500 champions and could be in position for a victory late in the race. Ty Dillon is 15 places behind 17th-place Ty Gibbs in the standings but has shorter odds to get a victory.
