2018 DAYTONA -- THE COKE ZERO SUGAR 400 - Pre-Race Thread

Five open, non-charter cars entered for four open starting spots...

7 Earnhardt
62 Gaughan
92 Peters
96 Kennington
99 Cassill

If qualifying is rained out, who gets sent home early? The 99 trails in owner points, just 9 points from four races entered. Landon Cassill has usually driven the 00, not the 99, so I guess a pay driver is in the 00 this week and would have the charter guaranteed slot.

The 62 entered for Brendan Gaughan has just two previous attempts, but I don't think attempts count any longer?? Anyone know?
So yes you are correct, the 99 would be odd man out.

yep Cassill is out if it continues to rain at Swamptona

Elliott and Bowman on the front row. At least HMS still has RP qualifying locked down.
 
3 weeks in a row high qualifying with road race cars, 1.5 cars and now speedway cars. I'm beginning to believe it isn't the car's fault the lack of speed during the races.

Bowman sat on the pole for the 500. Chevy and HMS in particular have always had speed on the plate tracks. Camero or no Camero.
 
Hoping Elliott didnt eat a bowl of Armour Chili before got ready for the race
 
^^ He is a marvel. There’s no doubt about that.
 
I think the Hooter girls gave him a pep talk
My bad , I was taking about Elliott Sadler , I should of made that more clear with Chase being in the race.
 
Way to go Chase. Would love to see that first win, but it’s Daytona, so who knows. Also great run Michael in the 34.
