The 2020 Wawa 250 Powered by Coca-Cola was the 22nd stock car race of the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season and the 19th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, August 28, 2020 in Daytona Beach, Florida at Daytona International Speedway, a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) permanent triangular-shaped superspeedway.

After a wild ending that saw the leaders wreck in the middle of Turn 3-4, Justin Haley of Kaulig Racing would survive the last lap wreck and hold off Gray Gaulding to win the race, the 2nd NASCAR Xfinity Series win of his career and the 2nd of the season.[1] To fill the podium, Gray Gaulding of SS-Green Light Racing and Chase Briscoe of Stewart-Haas Racing would finish 2nd and third, respectively.
