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 51.157 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, 17th. My time was 51.428.

After the drop of the green flag I slowly made my way up to the lead. I held the lead until 7 laps from the end  when I nearly spun when I got 2 wheels below the yellow line. I recovered to finish second. A good start to the new season.

My fastest lap of the race was 52.205 somewhat slower than I'd done in practise or qualifying..
