First of all huge congrats to Denny and the 11 team, they have been really dominant at Daytona for the past few years and finally achieved a 500 victory. JGR finished 1, 3, 5, 14 and Truex with a 2nd place finish. These Toyota's are off to a hot hot start with that extra 30HP.
What a booty day for Hendrick. With the 24 and 88 out early, the 5 and 48 brought home 13th and 16th places respectively. A lot of torn up race cars for HMS over speedweeks, they will surely be grinding this week to replace all of those rides.
Daytona Rising was a huge success and every seat looked like it had an AMAZING view of the entire track. Shout out to Daytona for stepping up and starting the ripple effect of the many NASCAR Stadium renovations to come!
Now that the nerves are out of the way for these guys, it's time to get down and dirty in HOTLANTA. The New AERO Package will debut and there is a 100% chance of AMAZING racing this weekend! Last years' results may be able to help us determine a winner here..
