Thunder at Daytona -- Take two
- After testing, drivers have decided that "the car of tomorrow" really won't be that bad after all. Kurt Busch became the first driver to get the car of tomorrow to top 190 miles per hour during the third day of testing.
- R.I.P Benny Parsons
- 72-year-old James Hylton is attempting to qualify for the Daytona 500, his first attempt since 1983. He hopes to be the oldest man to qualify for a NASCAR race. The current record holders are Jim Fitzgerald (Riverside, 1987) and Hershel McGriff (Sonoma, 1993), who were both 65 at the time.
- All four truck series manufacturers have changed the style of their trucks to debut with the start of the season in February.
And that's it for this NASCAR update, but I'm sure there will be more to come as the season nudges closer to a start.
