The 2025 United Rentals 300 was the 1st stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 44th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) superspeedway. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 120 laps but was increased to 126 laps due to an overtime finish. Jesse Love, driving for Richard Childress Racing, would dominate the final stages of the race, leading 30 laps to earn his second career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his first of the season.[8] Love's teammate, Austin Hill, continued to show a dominating performance at Daytona, winning both stages and leading a race-high 56 laps, before experiencing issues in the late stages and finishing 33rd, ending his winning streak.[9] To fill out the podium, Sam Mayer and Sheldon Creed, both driving for Haas Factory Team, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Perspective
Qualifying was originally scheduled to be held on Saturday, February 15, at 10:00 AM EST, but was cancelled due to inclement weather.[12] Since Daytona International Speedway is a superspeedway, the qualifying procedure used is a single-car, single-lap system with two rounds. In the first round, drivers have one lap to set a time and determine positions 11-38. The fastest ten drivers from the first round will advance to the second round, and whoever sets the fastest time in Round 2 will win the pole and determine the rest of the starting lineup.[13]
Because of a delayed start, and time constraints with the ARCA Menards Series race, only one round of qualifying was scheduled to be contested. After rain started to hit the track with 12 cars that took a qualifying lap, the rest of the session was cancelled, and the starting lineup was determined by last season's owners' points. As a result, Justin Allgaier, driving for JR Motorsports, will start on the pole.[14]
Three drivers failed to qualify: Carson Ware, C. J. McLaughlin, and J. J. Yeley.
