Last time out at Watkins Glen, JR Motorsports star Connor Zilisch was the man to take the win, although he injured himself badly when celebrating in victory lane, forcing him to undergo surgery as a result. Remarkably, at the time of writing, Zilisch is set to race – although he's now admitted he's likely to drop out early and let Parker Kligerman finish the race for him.

Of course, the Xfinity Series has already raced at Daytona earlier this season, with the season-opener having been held at the Florida track. On that occasion, Jesse Love was the winner, edging the likes of Sam Mayer and Sheldon Creed after taking the white flag just a fraction before a huge race-ending wreck.

Who wins this time around remains to be seen, and with that said, let's get into the all-important details that you came here for.
