After unveiling the Next Gen race car, the NASCAR season begins with a bang at the LA Coliseum.

It's the year's biggest race, the Daytona 500, with Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott and Corey LaJoie.

Ryan Blaney's, Brad Keselowski's and Kurt Busch's seasons hang in the balance as the playoffs approach.

NASCAR is forced to address new car issues that lead to two drivers’ early playoff exits due to concussions, while tire issues lead to Chase Elliott’s dramatic drop in the standings. Kyle Larson faces his greatest challenge yet trying to win back-to-back titles. Joey Logano’s strategy backfires, and Ryan Blaney seeks his first win.

Chase Elliott and Joey Logano battle to make the finals and have a chance to win their second Cup Series Championships, while Ross Chastain and Ryan Blaney leave it all on the track to prove they’re among the best drivers in the sport.
