Round 1 - Camping World 300, Daytona, Florida

For this series I decided to leave the limit for practice as 10 laps.

I ended up fastest after practice with a best time of 51.289 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 20th. My time was 51.725.

I slowly made my way towards the front however when I went for the lead I caused the second yellow of the race. This gave me my first black flack warning of the series.

I managed to get an actual black flag when just after I had pitted for fuel I accidentally overtook a car under the yellow line.

I managed to climb back to 13th place with the help of the other cars pitting.

My luck ran out however when I lost 10 positions on the last two laps as their tire advantage started to pay dividends.

My fastest lap of the race was 51.831 somewhat slower than I'd done in practice or qualifying..
