The NASCAR Cup Series regular season comes down to tonight at Daytona, where the Coke Zero Sugar 400 will set the final 16-driver Chase field. With the playoffs beginning next weekend at Darlington, most of the picture is already in place, but the final race always has a way of creating chaos. Daytona’s superspeedway racing means drafting help, late blocks, big wrecks, and surprise winners are all on the table, which is exactly what drivers near the cutline need.
Ryan Preece and Brad Keselowski enter as the last two names still trying to force their way in, and both will need either a win or a wild night around the back end of the current top 16 to keep their championship hopes alive. For the drivers already safe, tonight is about surviving Daytona and building momentum. For everyone on the edge, it is all or nothing. After the checkered flag, only 16 drivers will still have a path to the Cup Series title.
The green flag drops for the final race before the playoffs tonight at 7:30 p.m. EDT, and racing fans can tune in with Sling TV.

The Coke Zero Sugar 400 airs tonight on NBC, giving NASCAR fans one last regular-season race before The Chase begins. If you don’t have cable, Sling TV is one of the first streaming options to check, but NBC availability depends on where you live.
Sling offers NBC in select areas through Sling Select and Sling Blue packages, so the first step is checking your zip code on Sling’s site. If NBC is available in your market, either setup can get you the Coke Zero Sugar 400 without a traditional cable subscription.
Sling Select is the cheapest plan, but note that local channels cost an extra $5/month with Sling Select in markets where one or two local channels are available, so access to NBC may push the total slightly above the base Select price. Sling Blue costs more up front, but it’s the more complete live TV package if you want additional sports and entertainment channels beyond Saturday night’s race.
These are the Sling plans you can use to tune in, as long as NBC is available in your area:
- Sling Select ($24.99/month)
Sling TV Blue ($49.99/month)
