Daytona's 'other' race week arrives, and in modern times, there's a lot on the line

There's been some growing support this year for ditching NASCAR's playoff system — returning to the pre-2004 method of determining the champ through a season-long points race. NBC and partner USA broadcast the last 14 races of the season, including the current 10-race playoffs, and it's hard to imagine them going along with that idea. You're also unlikely to get old-school support from the marketing folks at Daytona International Speedway, where the usual drama is dramatically ramped up due to the added importance of the Coke Zero Sugar 400. Daytona's summertime race, an early-July fixture from 1959-2019, moved to late August in 2020 and, with one exception, has become anchored to the final race slot of the 26-race regular season. Daytona's technical rules, designed to keep the cars at relatively sane speeds, also equalize the field and make the track susceptible to surprise winners. For all the detractors of this form of racing, Daytona is the perfect place to end the regular season and provide one last opportunity for longshot racers to get the win they need to secure a playoff berth. Daytona's summertime race has always been 'the other race' here, given how the season-opening Daytona 500 remains NASCAR's biggest-by-far individual race. Take away the playoff implications, and the 400-miler becomes just another race on the trail — a white-knuckler, sure, but just another race. But chances are, it'd survive just fine. It has a history of adapting. In the beginning, NASCAR had other summer plans for Daytona The ability of Daytona to adapt its summer race plans dates back to the Speedway's infancy. After the track's 1959 opening and February's debut of the Daytona 500, plans for the summer included a Fourth of July Indy-car race, but first, there'd be an April shakedown. Like the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Daytona measured 2½ miles, but while Indy is largely flat, racing's newest monster track included hulking turns banked at 31 degrees. The Indy-style cars were fast — very fast, over 170 mph — but unstable. A.J. Foyt compared it to riding on the wing of an airplane. Two 40-lap races were scheduled, and on Lap 40 of the first, Indy-racing regular George Amick crashed violently and died instantly. The reality was too obvious to ignore — those cars weren't ready for 31-degree banking and speeds some 30 mph faster than Indy's Brickyard. NASCAR president and Daytona Speedway builder Bill France Sr., needing a race and the ticket sales it would generate, jostled the 1959 schedule and added a second NASCAR race to Daytona's calendar, planting it on the Fourth of July. A race initially slated for Raleigh, N.C., would instead become the first Firecracker 250, a 100-lapper featuring most of the NASCAR stars who'd christened the Daytona 500 in February. That change came on the fly. Others would unfold, slowly at first, but eventually changes began coming with regularity as the Firecracker 250 arrived and thrived and this coming week celebrates its 67th running. Early editions of the original Firecracker 250 would last a little over an hour and a half. It'd start in late-morning and end in time for race-day visitors (including many drivers and their families) to pack a lunch and hit the beach. That routine continued, but it became a later lunch in 1963 when the race was lengthened to 160 laps and 400 miles, where it remains today. Well, that's the plan, anyway, but it doesn't always hold up. NASCAR brought overtime finishes to the Cup Series in 2004 in order to guarantee green-flag finishes. Twelve times since then, the race has been extended beyond 160 laps, including in 2011 when David Ragan took the checkers at the end of the 10th overtime lap. And several other times, it took the green a day late due to rain. Daytona's summer race changed sodas from Pepsi to Coke Their numbers are fading, but you occasionally come across someone who calls this one the Firecracker. Yes, time flies, but believe it or not, the Firecracker has carried a soda label for 40 years now. Here's the rundown … 1959-1962: Firecracker 250. 1963-84: Firecracker 400. 1985-88: Pepsi Firecracker 400. 1989-2004: Pepsi 400. 2005-17: Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca Cola. 2018-2025: Coke Zero Sugar 400. The first change — to Pepsi Firecracker 400 — lasted just four years because everyone except the marketing folks still called it the Firecracker. Many of those same people were a bit stunned 15 years later when Coca Cola replaced Pepsi as race sponsor, and stunned again three years later when Coke replaced Pepsi as the official soft drink of Daytona. Pepsi had been one of the original big-name, deep-pocketed corporations that helped Bill France finance the Speedway in the late-'50s, and the relationship seemed forever locked in. Well, they did wait until 16 years after Big Bill's passing. Coke, you may recall (and as the chronology above suggests), did its own rebranding several years ago with its second 'diet' soda. Coke Zero didn't exactly tell the story the brand was wanting to tell, so it became Coke Zero Sugar to drive home the point that, you know, there's no real sugar in there. So now the 400 seems settled comfortably into its role as last-ditch chance to not only send a longshot to Victory Lane, but into the upcoming Cup playoffs. It happened just a year ago when Harrison Burton got his first win of the year and, in fact, the first of his career. Several capable drivers and teams are still searching for a 2025 victory. And some others, like Burton last August, could also make Daytona's summertime nail-biter a career-first Cup Series trophy. Here's a list of racers — some very familiar — who made the Firecracker/Pepsi/Coke 400 their first NASCAR win: A.J. Foyt (1964), Sam McQuagg (1966), Greg Sacks (1985), Jimmy Spencer (1994), John Andretti (1997), Greg Biffle (2003), David Ragan (2011), Aric Almirola (2014), Erik Jones (2018), Justin Haley (2019), William Byron (2020) and Burton last year. So yes, there's a history of such things. — Email Ken Willis at (This story was updated to add a video.)

2025 Tour Championship odds, DFS picks: Can anyone challenge Scottie Scheffler?

The PGA Tour season comes to an end this week at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The story of the season has been Scottie Scheffler's dominance, and he clinched his fifth win at the BMW Championship last week. Scheffler's chip from off the green on 17 has been replayed more than any other shot of this year's tour. Scheffler's two-season run can only be compared to the greatest ever to play the game. His 12 wins during the 2024 and 2025 PGA Tour seasons have only been matched by Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus. Advertisement Scheffler will be looking to defend his Tour Championship title from 2024 this week, but he will have a tougher time doing so as everyone in the field will be starting the tournament on level terms. The old system was underwhelming for both fans and players. This new system isn't perfect, but at least the best players in the world will have a tougher challenge to test who is at their best to end the season. And, yes, East Lake Golf Club should prove to be a strong test for the players this week. A few recent updates: The 14th hole at East Lake Golf Club has been changed from a Par 5 to a Par 4, and the rough has been lengthened a bit. The greens should be more settled after the changes that Andrew Green put in place in 2024. The key stats I will focus on include driving accuracy, strokes gained on approach, strokes gained on approach from 125 to 150 yards, 3-putt avoidance and strokes gained on difficult Par-70 golf courses that are over 7,400 yards. I will be using weighted strokes gained this week with the stacked field and the challenging course. I will play around with the number of rounds a bit, as I want to play the players who are at their best at this moment. Course: East Lake Golf Club Location: Atlanta Designer: Tom Bendelow (redesigned by Donald Ross, George Cobb, Rees Jones and Andrew Green) Par: 70 Length: 7,490 yards Average green size: 6,238 square feet Past champions: 2024 Scottie Scheffler, 2023 Viktor Hovland, 2022 Rory McIlroy, 2021 Patrick Cantlay, 2020 Dustin Johnson, 2019 Rory McIlroy Rory McIlroy (+850) is looking for his fourth Tour Championship win this week. Scheffler is the betting favorite with very short odds; when the best golfer in the world is a less than 2-to-1 favorite to win a golf tournament, you have to find some value in other spots. McIlroy had some rust to his game last week at the BMW Championship, but seemed to knock it off by the fourth round when he managed to drive a Par-4 green with a 3-wood. He will need to be a little sharper with his wedges to win this week, but I wouldn't be surprised if he wins. Advertisement Viktor Hovland (+2200) has been on fire since his poor first round at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He has gained over nine strokes combined on approach over his last two tournaments, and he has been positive with the putter for four straight tournaments. He may not be on Michael Kim's Christmas card list this year (knocked Kim out of the Tour Championship with a birdie on the last hole at the BMW Championship), but he would be on mine if he could pull out a win this week. Tommy Fleetwood (+800) doesn't have a win on the PGA Tour, and that is not going to change this week. Fleetwood has been excellent down the stretch of the season and sits second in my power rankings and in my strokes gained weighted over his last 36 rounds. Fleetwood has gained over 10.3 strokes combined on approach over his last two tournaments. He has gained over 15 strokes putting over his last three tournaments. If it weren't for some late Sunday meltdowns and bad luck, he would be coming into this week with multiple wins on tour this season. Betting him this way, we can root for Fleetwood without the inevitable heartbreak. Russell Henley (+1200) comes into this week third on the PGA Tour in proximity to the fairway while hitting the fairway with his drives at almost a 68 percent pace. He has had an excellent season, and his finishes in the playoffs would have been a little better if he had been a little hotter with the putter. He has gained strokes on approach in six straight tournaments. Scottie Scheffler ($13,900) has five wins on the PGA Tour season and is the defending champion coming into this week. He will have Tedd Scott back on his bag this week after winning last week for the first time without Scott on the bag. Fading Scheffler with his form is almost impossible to do. He would have to be priced in the 15k range for me to even think about it. Tommy Fleetwood ($9,900) See above. Advertisement Russell Henley ($9,600) See above. Viktor Hovland ($9,400) See above. Sam Burns ($8,500) gained strokes across the board here in 2023, and he gained over four strokes on approach here last year. Burns has gained strokes on approach in four straight tournaments and is on an absolute heater with the putter, gaining over 12 strokes combined putting in his last two tournaments. J.J. Spaun ($8,100) is making his Tour Championship debut, but the 2025 U.S. Open winner can't be overlooked. He has gained almost 12 strokes combined on approach in the last two weeks and has been a hot putter away from winning. He is well inside the top of my model and is coming in at a nice salary-relief price. Cameron Young ($7,900) has had an excellent end to the PGA Tour season with a win at the Wyndham and then two straight top-11 finishes in the playoffs. He has gained over 12 strokes combined off the tee in his last three tournaments and is one of the hottest putters on the PGA Tour. He struggled with his approach shots and around the greens in his only trip here in 2022, but should have a better showing this week with his current form. Sepp Straka ($7,600) is a must-play every time he is priced in this range. Straka has had such a strong season, and hopefully the issues he had to deal with off the course last week won't affect him this week. He has gained over eight strokes combined on approach in his three trips to East Lake. He will need to drive the ball better than he has at past Tour Championships to make some noise this week. Maverick McNealy ($7,300) gained strokes across the board on Sunday at the BMW Championship, which led to a very nice third-place finish. He is also making his debut at the Tour Championship this week, but could make some noise with his current form. Harris English ($6,900) is priced too low to ignore with how he has played this season. The issue is that he has struggled with his approach shots during the playoffs, which has kept him from having a good end to the season. He has never driven it well here in three trips. I'm going to play him a little less than what it seems the public is this week. Advertisement Akshay Bhatia ($6,700) almost choked his way out of making it to East Lake on Sunday. He couldn't hit a green or make a putt to save his life down the stretch, but somehow made his way to the Tour Championship. I think he will play well this week after getting through all of that pressure on Sunday. It should free him up for a nice finish to the season. His overall game fits this course really well, and his price is nice. Shane Lowry ($6,400) gained strokes everywhere except around the green here last year when he finished T9. He has been struggling a bit to end the year, but this course suits his game pretty well. We need to save some money somewhere, and Lowry seems like a decent choice. I want to play Sungjae Im ($6,200) so bad, but I can't after he lost over 10.7 strokes on approach last week. (Photo of Scottie Scheffler: Kevin C. Cox / Getty Images) Spot the pattern.
