Round 1 - Daytona International Raceway

For this series I decided to leave the limit for practise as 10 laps. This seemed to be enough.

I ended up 19th fastest after practise with a best time of 52.883 seconds.

Qualifying for this series (and all other NASCAR championships) is in a 2 lap dash format. The track is empty at this point.

I qualified in my usual position for a super-speedway, 36th and last! My times were 53.252 and 53.185 not bad for consistency as these were practically the same times as I posted the last time I was here!

I made a slight mistake early on in the race which made me lose the draft however by the end of the race I had managed to get to 34th - 10 positions worse than last time.
