5 Races Down 5 to Go

Were half way through the Races during Speedweeks at Daytona. The ARCA Racing Series kicked off the races with a usual Daytona style race with the big one in which Jon Wes Townly too the victory, later that night the Sprint Cup cars took the track for there first race in the Sprint Unlimited. This was the first chance for fans to see how the new GEN 6 car would fair during a race and it was not what we were used to seeing, as the passing was not as present unlike years past although Kevin Harvick had an impressive win over Greg Biffle. The following races of the first ever Battle at the Beach had fireworks for the first two. In the Late Model race rising star Kyle Larson had a controversial bump to leader CE Faulk, followed by Larson spinning CE exiting turn 4 coming to the checkered flag. Tuesday nights Modified was dominated by Todd Szegedy who lead 126 laps before a lower right front ball joint broke on his car, handing the lead to Mike Stefanik who lead until the last lap when second place Steve Park was bumped by third place which forced him into the back of Stefanik turning him around exiting turn two. Following the modified rac was the K&N Pro Series East and West race which was as exciting compared to the previous two races. Gene Price Motorsports new comer Cameron Haley was victorious in the final Battle at the Beach race.
We have 5 more races to go wit the Budwiser Duels, Camping World Truck, Nascar Nationwide Series, followed by the Daytona 500
