Overview

• With qualifying rained out, Zilisch started from pole at Daytona, dropped to the rear, and exited under the first caution for weather.
• Parker Kligerman took over the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet after the stop, continuing the race in relief.
• Under NASCAR rules, Zilisch keeps the race points for starting, though he cannot collect stage or win bonus points with a relief driver finishing.
• The 19-year-old recently had surgery with a plate and screws after his viral Victory Lane fall at Watkins Glen, and the team adjusted belts and seat padding to ease strain.
• Zilisch entered the weekend leading the regular-season standings by seven points over teammate Justin Allgaier.
