NASCAR is back at Daytona International Speedway for the Coke Zero 400 on Saturday. Kyle Busch holds the pole position after posting a top speed of 193.723 miles per hour and, according to USA Today’s Jeff Gluck, it’s the first superspeedway pole of his career.

Busch is hoping for a better showing than his last two races at Daytona, which resulted in engine failure and a crash, respectively. Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne, Martin Truex Jr. and Paul Menard round out the top three rows. Jimmie Johnson, the current Sprint Cup Series points leader, will start eighth.

The race is set to begin at approximately 7:49 p.m. Television coverage of the race will be provided by TNT with their primary coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m., though pre-race festivities begin at 6:30 p.m.
