About the Wawa 250
Daytona's summer Xfinity Series race was added in 2002 and for years ran on Independence Day weekend under Firecracker-themed names such as the Subway Firecracker 250 and Coca-Cola Firecracker 250, later moving to late August. Sponsors have included Winn-Dixie, Subway and Coca-Cola before Wawa took over the name.
