Don’t they usually run two shotgun races on the Thursday before Daytona to determine how the starting grid lines up? I’ve not heard anything about it.
Yes, the results were Dale Jr and Kyle Busch winning.
I didn’t/don’t plan on running the threads this year; I have been swamped at work. Too many 12-14 hour days in a row. But, I was asked to help out to get us going this year.
Hence why you probably didn’t see anything about it.
