NASCAR Xfinity Series season begins Saturday with the United Rentals 300 at Daytona International Speedway. Defending series champion Justin Allgaier headlines the field that has a new mix with a strong group of veterans and a promising group of rookies.

The Daytona 500 is scheduled to transpire this afternoon. The event will begin at 12:30 p.m. CT on FOX. Fans can watch this NASCAR race for free online by using the free trials offered by DirecTV Stream and Fubo TV. The Daytona 500 will begin the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series, so the race winner will sit atop the standings.

The NASCAR Truck Series, which is considered the third-tier circuit behind the Cup Series and Xfinity Series, will launch its 2025 regular season in February. It will run through August before the start of the playoffs. The championship race will be held at Phoenix Raceway on Oct. 31.
