The 2014 Coke Zero 400 powered by Coca-Cola was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was scheduled to be held on July 5, 2014, but was pushed to July 6, 2014, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The race was originally scheduled to be run over 160 laps, though only 112 laps were contested due to rain, it was the 18th race of the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. Aric Almirola was leading when the race was called for rain and scored his first career win and the No. 43's first win since the 1999 Goody's Body Pain 500. Brian Vickers was second, while Kurt Busch, Casey Mears, and top rookie Austin Dillon rounded out the top five. Behind Dillon, the top rookies of the race were Alex Bowman in 13th, and Michael Annett in 21st.

Background
thumb|left|Daytona International Speedway, where the race was held.
Daytona International Speedway is a four-turn superspeedway that is 2.5 mi km long.http://www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com/Track-Info/Track-Facts.aspx Daytona International Speedway Track Facts Daytona International Speedway July 1, 2013 September 23, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150923215156/http://www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com/Track-Info/Track-Facts.aspx dead The track's turns are banked at 31 degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, is banked at 18 degrees. The backstretch, which has a length of 3,000 ft m on, has minimal banking that is used for drainage. Jimmie Johnson was the defending race winner from the 2013 event.
Following the Daytona 500 in February, 2,400 ft m on of additional SAFER barriers were added to the circuit, in order to improve safety. The additional barriers were added from the exit of turn four, through the tri-oval and to the entrance of turn one; this left only the super stretch outside walls with concrete barriers. "We're always looking at ways to enhance our safety and it is a priority for us," said Lenny Santiago, senior director of public relations for Daytona International Speedway. "Whenever we have an incident on track, we always take a look in consultation with NASCAR, the University of Nebraska and other experts that are a part of the Motorsports Technology Group and take their recommendations. In consultation with them, we made sure we added additional safer barriers to these areas."http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Daytona-Adds-More-SAFER-Barriers.aspx Daytona Adds More SAFER Barriers Long Dustin Motor Racing Network July 2, 2014 MRN.com July 3, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140714161525/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Daytona-Adds-More-SAFER-Barriers.aspx July 14, 2014 dead
Prior to the start of the race, Barney Hall announced that this race would be his last in the booth for the Motor Racing Network. "The years have gone by so quick, it's just so hard to believe," Hall said with a smile during a break at Daytona International Speedway. "The voice of NASCAR is the voice of MRN and that's Barney Hall," said David Hyatt, president and executive producer of Motor Racing Network. "To have him still be a part of what we do in a way that highlights all the memories that he has, all the history he's brought to the sport, everything that he's done, not just for this MRN brand but for the NASCAR brand is an important part of this transition. MRN isn't MRN without Barney Hall."http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Roll-For-Barney-Hall-Changing-At-MRN.aspx Hall's Role Changing at MRN Long Dustin Motor Racing Network July 5, 2014 MRN.com July 5, 2014 https://archive.today/20140707123128/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Roll-For-Barney-Hall-Changing-At-MRN.aspx July 7, 2014 dead mdy-all

Start
The race was scheduled to start at 7:45 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday evening, but the start was delayed by rain and finally pushed to the next day at 11:13 a.m.http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Rain-Postpones-Daytona-Race.aspx Daytona Race Postponed Long Dustin Motor Racing Network July 5, 2014 MRN.com July 5, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140709161413/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Rain-Postpones-Daytona-Race.aspx July 9, 2014 dead The start was pushed a pace lap due to light sprinkles in turns one and two and then another lap. After a total of seven pace laps, David Gilliland finally led the field to the green at 11:21 a.m. Matt Kenseth took the lead from Gilliland on lap five, before the first caution of the race flew for rain on lap 6, which ultimately led to a 26-minute delay under red flag conditions.
The Big One
The race restarted on lap 13, before Tony Stewart took the lead on lap 17. A competition caution was planned upon the completion of lap 20, but the second caution of the race flew on lap 20 for a multi-car wreck in the tri-oval. A total of 16 cars were involved, including points leader Jeff Gordon, defending race winner Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., the Daytona 500 winner. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. – who was also involved in the incident – stated that he had been "heading straight...had it saved and had it straight again and got caught in the left rear."http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Early-Crash-Collects-Contenders.aspx Early Crash Collects Contenders Long Dustin Motor Racing Network July 6, 2014 MRN.com July 6, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140712083210/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Early-Crash-Collects-Contenders.aspx July 12, 2014 dead Only Johnson and A.

The Huge One
The race restarted on lap 98 and the fifth caution flew for another multi-car wreck on the back straightaway collecting 26 cars. It started when Kasey Kahne got turned by Greg Biffle and Kahne turned down into Joey Logano. Everyone checked up but piled into other cars triggering the wreck. During the wreck, Cole Whitt came down the race track and ended up hitting the right rear of Kyle Busch's car and ended up turning Busch upside down. Busch even joked around while being upside down on his radio saying "Just having a good old time over here" with his spotter responding "Just hanging around?". The red flag was displayed for the second time. The cars involved in the wreck were Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle, Joey Logano, Cole Whitt, Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Alex Bowman, David Gilliland, Justin Allgaier, Ryan Newman, Paul Menard, Josh Wise, Michael Annett, Ryan Truex, Bobby Labonte, Matt Kenseth, Landon Cassill, Jamie McMurray, Marcos Ambrose, David Ragan, Denny Hamlin, Danica Patrick, Brad Keselowski, Terry Labonte, Reed Sorenson, and Michael McDowell. Gilliland described the incident as "all heck broke loose all at once", while Kyle Busch had driven through the grass before his car dug in and sent him back towards traffic; he described his roll as "real slow", After 4 minutes and 48 seconds, the red flag was lifted and the field continued under caution.http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Slow-Carnival-Ride-for-Busch-in-26-Car-Crash.aspx Busch Goes on 'Slow Carnival Ride' Long Dustin Motor Racing Network July 6, 2014 MRN.com July 6, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140712091337/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/07/Slow-Carnival-Ride-for-Busch-in-26-Car-Crash.aspx July 12, 2014 dead Footage from this crash was used in the 2015 film Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!
