Daytona 500 flag drops at 2:30 today.
Kyle Larson is on pole with a speed of 181.16 mph
His teammate Alex Bowman will be on the front row outside.
This marks the 10th year in a row that Chevy will have a car on the Daytona 500 pole.
One of the more interesting entries is the Grambling State car. Grambling State is a historical black college. John Cohen, a Grambling State graduate, entrepreneur and race enthusiast, is the team owner. Greg Biffle, a NASCAR veteran driver of 20 years who hasn't competed at this level for 5 seasons (semi-retired), is behind the wheel.
Love the paint scheme of their car, which will start 28th in the grid:
The most appropriate sponsor is this entry:
Personally, I'll be pulling for Martin Truex (start position 14th) - who I have connections with through family:
I'll also be keeping an eye on Justin Haley (start 25th) and Daniel Hemric (start 33rd), both who drive for Kaulig Racing - the owner is a childhood friend. I haven't talked to him in ages, but I've been following his racing career.
