Watch the PowerShares QQQ 300 live from Daytona online
By Nick Tylwalk
The NASCAR XFINITY Series roars to life for 2018 with the first race of the season from Daytona International Speedway, and we tell you how to watch live.
The trucks kicked off Daytona 500 weekend Friday night, and we’ll get one step closer to the Great American Race with the PowerShares QQQ 300 on Saturday afternoon. While it’s not likely to be quite the battle of attrition that happened under the lights, it’s still a race that’s going to be unpredictable and quite possibly a lot of fun.
Along with the perennial uncertainties of restrictor plate racing, there’s something of a changing of the guard in the XFINITY Series as a whole. Last year’s champion, William Byron, has moved up to the Cup Series, and interestingly, he won’t be one of the drivers doing double duty this weekend. But a handful of Cup Series drivers will take part in the race, including Joey Logano, Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott, who all figure to be big factors.
Christopher Bell should be as well, as he moves up after winning the Truck Series title in 2017. And veterans like Elliott Sadler, Justin Allgaier and last year’s race winner, Ryan Reed, could all be in the mix for a win as well.
That’s if the inevitable big wreck spares them, of course. To find out if that’s the case, here’s how to watch the PowerShares QQQ 300 live:
