There’s a first time for everything.

The NASCAR Cup Series will embark on its maiden voyage Sunday on the historic Daytona International Speedway Road Course, bringing yet another set of twists and turns (14 of them, in fact) to an already unpredictable 2020 season.

Did we mention they’ll be taking the green flag with no practice or qualifying, too? That’s enough to add to the intrigue of what is bound to be a wild weekend, but if that wasn’t enough, the playoffs are right around the corner, with plenty of implications on the line this weekend.

NASCAR.com has you covered for this premier event from every conceivable angle. Read our full coverage below to get ready for the Go Bowling 235 (3 p.m. ET, NBC/NBC Sports App, MRN, Sirius XM NASCAR).
