Coke Zero 400

The Pepsi 400 is the current name for the Firecracker 400, a four hundred mile (approx. 640 kilometer) race held on the July 4th weekend at Daytona International Raceway. This 160-lap event was developed to make a second major Cup-level race event for Daytona which would not detract from the legendary nature of the Daytona 500. In recent years it has been held at night by employing a lighting system using parabolic reflectors which allow very intense lighting to be focused on the track in an indirect manner without being directly in the drivers' eyes, which obviously would create a very unsafe situation.
