Round 1 - Daytona 500, 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 50.289 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 1st. My time was 50.303.

I managed to stay up front until there was a yellow flag period midway through the race. I took the opportunity to pit for fuel. I rejoined the race in 10th place.

I spent the remainder of the race working my way through the pack. I was helped when everyone else stopped for gas under green flag conditions.

The result was my first Daytona 500 win!

My fastest lap of the race was 49.673 my fastest lap of the weekend.

I led 74/of the 90 laps.
