Seeing his sponsor, we can easily see the return of the Sunoco ride to top-level NASCAR, if he manages to keep up these performances. 3.

This is the first-ever points race for any series on the Daytona backstretch short track and the first true standalone race for the Busch North/K&N East series at Daytona, the traditional Daytona Busch race counted as a combination race until 1997 although Busch North racers rarely made the field. Fox Sports televised this race live on FS2 and advertised it as having both East and West series entries. I don't think there were any West teams in this race though, Cory Joyce was the only racer in the field who didn't run the opener at New Smyrna two nights earlier. 4.

I believe that's why they ran this race but not New Smyrna, their equipment and crew members were already here at Daytona. 5. 1995z71 posted: 02.20.2014 - 11:03 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Sam Hunt gives up his ride to Brandon Jones who DNQ. 6. 1995z71 posted: 02.20.2014 - 11:09 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Also not only did Daniel Suarez get back to back wins, Kenzie Ruston gets back to back 6th place finishes, Gray Gaulding gets two 7ths (leading in both races) & Kaz Grala gets two 10ths & Jerry Dawson gets two DNFs. 7.

A pending overhaul at Daytona that would have removed the backstretch grandstand used for this event in 2016 put an end to it. 10.
