The 2023 Wawa 250 Powered by Coca-Cola was the 24th stock car race of the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 22nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, August 25, 2023, in Daytona Beach, Florida at Daytona International Speedway, a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) permanent quad-oval shaped superspeedway. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 100 laps, but was extended to 110 laps due to several NASCAR overtime attempts. In a wild race that saw numerous wrecks with under 10 laps to go, Justin Allgaier, driving for JR Motorsports, would hold off Sheldon Creed in a photo finish to earn his 21st career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his second of the season. Allgaier would beat Creed by 0.005 of a second, tying the fourth closest finish in Xfinity Series history.[1] To fill out the podium, Creed, driving for Richard Childress Racing, and Daniel Hemric, driving for Kaulig Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
