The 2019 Coke Zero Sugar 400 was a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race that was held on July 7, 2019 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Initially scheduled for 160 laps on the 2.5-mile (4.0 km) superspeedway, the race – which had been delayed from July 6 due to rain – was shortened to 127 laps, due to rain and lightning.

The eighteenth race of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season saw Justin Haley – in his third Cup Series start – take his first Cup Series victory (and the first for Spire Motorsports) as he did not pit under a yellow flag period caused by a crash that involved approximately half the field, taking the lead from Kurt Busch, and the race never restarted due to the weather.
