Less than 20 days away from cars on track... time to kick the tires!
"The Daytona 500 is the iconic 500-mile NASCAR Cup Series season-opener held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Considered the most prestigious and important race in NASCAR, the Daytona 500 has opened the NASCAR season every February since 1982. It is also the series' first race of the year; this phenomenon is unique in sports, which tend to have championships or other major events at the end of the season rather than the start.
The race serves as the final event of Speedweeks and is also known as "The Great American Race" or the "Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing".
Since 1997, the winner of the Daytona 500 has been presented with the Harley J. Earl Trophy in Victory Lane, and the winning car is displayed in race-winning condition for one year at Daytona 500 Experience, a museum and gallery adjacent to Daytona International Speedway."

. But seriously, he had a great final run in 2020, with 8 top 20s in the last 10 races. He actually would've made the round of 12 had he made the Playoffs at all- one of the NASCAR Twitter personalities calculated he had something like the 8th or 9th best average finish out of all drivers through half the playoffs (this is a VERY rough stat....it was something along those lines). Hoping he can keep the momentum alive.
