Brad Keselowski recorded the fastest lap in the final NASCAR Cup Series practice session ahead of the Daytona 500, clocking in at 193.307 mph while participating in a draft. Alex Bowman and Cole Custer followed closely behind, with laps of 193.274 mph and 193.212 mph, respectively. A total of 24 out of the 41 cars set to compete in the race participated in the practice session, which saw no incidents. William Byron, the defending Daytona 500 champion, also showed strong performance in previous practices, although he faced mechanical issues that he believes have been resolved.

This year marks a significant event as Byron aims for back-to-back victories in the prestigious race.
