Well Daytona didn't disappoint. It took a while, but the race ended up being exciting, and a total crash fest at the end! Only 14 cars were on the lead lap at the end of the race. The new packages definitely leave a lot of questions for the upcoming races.
Denny Hamlin ended up leading the most important lap of the race, and Joe Gibbs racing finished 1-2-3. Matt DiBenedetto was the real star of the race. He led some laps and stayed in the lead pack until he got dumped late in the race. Hendricks cars looked to have more pep than they did all last year. So we'll see how the year unfolds.
I'm looking forward to the new aerodynamics package being ran at Atlanta this week. We should see more pack racing, and hopefully more excitement! Crazy start to the season here as only 4 people got a top 10 finish.
