DAYTONA BEACH, Fla — Unfortunately, we only got 19 laps into Friday night’s Wawa 250 at the Daytona International Speedway before mother nature reared her ugly head once again. It seems to not matter whether we’re here in July or late August, rain will always find the 2.5-mile race track.
The NASCAR Xfinity Series race will resume on Saturday for what will be a doubleheader in sharing the track with the NASCAR Cup Series for the annual Coke Zero Sugar 400 (7 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN).
Parking lots will open on Saturday morning at 8 a.m. ET with shuttles from Lot 7 starting at 9 a.m. ET. Gates, hospitality and the UNOH Fanzone opens at 10:30 a.m. ET for Xfinity race ticketholders.
If you hold just a ticket for the ‘400, gates and the UNOH Fanzone opens for you at 3 p.m. ET.

Current Running Order With Early Recap
AJ Allmendinger led 13 of the first 14 laps before Noah Gragson got him heading to the Lap 15 competition caution. Gragson, led several drivers down pit road under the first yellow as 15 of the 40 drivers elected to not pit.
Brandon Jones was one of the 15 but that’s due to him having overheating issues early and going behind the wall as a result. He will finish last.
Allmendinger, stayed out and reinherited the lead over Christopher Bell, Myatt Snider, Austin Cindric, Brett Moffitt, Justin Haley, Jeb Burton, Daniel Hemric, Jeremy Clements, Caesar Bacarella, Blaine Perkins, Josh Williams, Colin Garrett and Alex Labbe electing not to pit.
Justin Allgaier beat Harrison Burton, Gragson, Chase Briscoe, Michael Annett, Tommy Joe Martins and others off pit road.
We’d go red on Lap 19 with the race being delayed officially at 9:10 p.m. ET.
