The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Daytona on Saturday for the penultimate race of the regular season, and no one appears to be hotter than Tyler Reddick.
Reddick is coming off a win in the FireKeepers Casino 400, which represented his third consecutive top-three finish and seventh consecutive top-six finish. While two wins aren't as many as some other drivers, Reddick enters the Coke Zero Sugar 400 leading the Cup Series standings.
Reddick doesn't have a win in the Coke Zero Sugar 400, however. Chris Buescher secured the victory last year, edging out Brad Keselowski in a race that required overtime. Now sitting 12th in the Cup Series standings, Buescher is looking for his first win of the season and what would be a massive step toward the playoffs.
Here's a look at the pole winner and complete starting order for Saturday's Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona.
