Today marks 18 days before the NASCAR Cup Series drivers suit up for the biggest race of the year, the 2025 DAYTONA 500. The number “18” represents a record-setting achievement in the Great American Race. The youngest driver to ever race in the DAYTONA 500 was Joey Logano, whose first start in 2009 was at the age of 18 years, eight months and 22 days. Although Logano finished last – 43rd – in his Daytona debut after a single car crash 81 laps into the race – Logano’s legacy thereafter has stood the test of time. He returned to win the 2015 DAYTONA 500 and is currently the reigning three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion.

Today marks 19 days before the NASCAR Cup Series drivers compete in the 67th running of the Great American Race. For anyone who qualifies mid-pack, the 19th-place starting position isn’t a bad spot on the grid. Three drivers have won NASCAR’s most prestigious race after qualifying 19th—LeeRoy Yarbrough in 1969, Michael Waltrip in 2001 and Ward Burton in 2002. In contrast, no driver has ever won the DAYTONA 500 from 20th.
