Daytona practice offers more than expected
NASCAR fans arrive at the Daytona International Speedway
Feb 22, 2012
We went to Daytona with the intention of performing one four-tire pit stop and a gas-only stop. Not the case!
After the No. 5 Chevy was collected in an early wreck, we came to pit road seven times for various damage repair scenarios. In the end, it added up to two burnt fingers, a hammer to the hand, and enough BearBond tape to repair the cars of every Farmers Insurance customer after this week’s ice storm.
Well, maybe not quite that much, but you get the picture.
Saturday night wasn’t a shining moment for a lot of teams, but we did manage to leave Daytona with a 13th-place finish and get a jump start on our crash repair practice. We’ll take it and move forward to the Gatorade Duels on Thursday and secure a good starting spot for Sunday’s Daytona 500.
