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 fastest after practise with a best time of 51.414 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 best position for a super-speedway, 25th. My time was 51.695.

After the drop of the green flag I slowly made my way up to 12th place. At that point there was a yellow flag period. I anticipated that more fuel would be needed before the end of the race so I elected to make a pit stop. Sadly for me there were no such fuel concerns. I managed to pass 6 cars before the chequered flag. A 30th finishing position was not what I was hoping for.

My fastest lap of the race was 51.184 which was also my fastest lap of the weekend.
