Racing is back. Daytona.
NASCAR is on track Saturday for practice. The excitement does not stop there as the ARCA Racing Series gets on track for the first time with the Lucas Oil 200. Then Sunday is The Clash, the Monster Energy Cup Series precursor to the Daytona 500.
You’ve waited all winter for this race fans. It’s just enough to wet your appetite for Sunday’s Daytona 500.
ARCA’s first race sees Natalie Decker on the pole. Does she have what it takes to get her car to victory lane? If not her, then who?
On Sunday there is a little matter of Daytona 500 qualifying to take care of and then a total of 17 drivers are competing in The Clash on Sunday. The race is a mixture of pole winners, champions and playoff drivers from the past year.
