Created on February 13, 2026 | Total tries: 28 | Average Score: 36.3 out of 67 (54%) | Quiz FAQ

The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series officially gets underway this weekend in Florida with the Daytona 500, where William Byron will look to win his third in a row and start his regular season Cup Series championship defense.

Byron is one of five drivers to win back-to-back Daytona 500’s, but if he’s going to become the first to win in three consecutive years, he’ll have to do it with a backup car after a wreck at the first Duel on Thursday.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the drivers to win the Daytona 500 since 1959 can you name in 10 minutes?

Good luck!
