The2025 Coke Zero Sugar 400 was aNASCAR Cup Seriesrace held on August 23, 2025, atDaytona International Speedway inDaytona Beach, Florida on the 2.5-mile (4.0 km) superspeedway. It was the 26th race of the2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, and last race of the regular season.

Ryan Blaney won the race.Daniel Suárez finished 2nd, andJustin Haley finished 3rd.Cole Custer andErik Jones rounded out the top five, andKyle Larson,Chris Buescher,Ty Gibbs,Josh Berry, andChase Elliott rounded out the top ten.

The race was held atDaytona International Speedway, arace track located inDaytona Beach, Florida,United States. Since opening in 1959, the track is the home of theDaytona 500, the most prestigious race inNASCAR. In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosts races ofARCA,AMA Superbike,USCC,SCCA, andMotocross. It features multiple layouts including the primary 2.5 miles (4.0 km) high speedtri-oval, a 3.56 miles (5.73 km)sports car course, a 2.95 miles (4.75 km) motorcycle course, and a .25 miles (0.40 km) karting and motorcycle flat-track. The track's 180-acre (73 ha) infield includes the 29-acre (12 ha) Lake Lloyd, which has hostedpowerboat racing. The speedway is owned and operated byInternational Speedway Corporation.

The track was built in 1959 by NASCAR founderWilliam "Bill" France, Sr. to host racing held at the formerDaytona Beach Road Course. His banked design permitted higher speeds and gave fans a better view of the cars. Lights were installed around the track in 1998 and today, it is the third-largest single lit outdoor sports facility. The speedway has been renovated three times, with the infield renovated in 2004 and the track repaved twice — in 1978 and in 2010.On January 22, 2013, the track unveiled artist depictions of a renovated speedway. On July 5 of that year, ground was broken for a project that would remove the backstretch seating and completely redevelop the frontstretch seating. The renovation to the speedway is being worked on by Rossetti Architects. The project, named "Daytona Rising", was completed in January 2016, and it costUS $400 million, placing emphasis on improving fan experience with five expanded and redesigned fan entrances (called "injectors") as well as wider and more comfortable seating with more restrooms and concession stands. After the renovations, the track's grandstands include 101,000 permanent seats with the ability to increase permanent seating to 125,000.^[7][8] The project was completed before the start ofSpeedweeks.
