However, Hill has undoubtedly been the dominant force so far in 2025, leading for 202 laps in total and taking four stage wins so far, with an engine issue at Daytona the only thing that prevented him from a win in the season opener.

Hill is set for plenty of competition this weekend, though, with NASCAR phenom Connor Zilisch taking pole position for Saturday's race and Cup Series stars Ross Chastain and William Byron starting behind him in second and third respectively.

With all of that said, let's take a look at the start times for today's action and how you can watch live for free.
