Official Release

The first time Korbin Forrister ever ran on a paved racetrack he was testing an ARCA series car in the world’s most famous high-banked track. Since that day the Georgia driver has dreamed of returning to the Daytona International Speedway to compete in a NASCAR race.

Days before the green flag of the NASCAR season, Rick Ware Racing (RWR) is proud to announce that Lilly Trucking will return as a major sponsor for the 2015 NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) season.

Despite the damage to his Fastenal Ford that was obtained in a 14 car pile-up on lap 45 in Saturday night’s Sprint Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was working his way up through the field before a cut tire sent him into the outside wall resulting in a 16th-place finish.

Biffle qualified third, narrowly missing a front row starting position. Biffle brushed the wall early on in the 500, but rebounded to lead eight laps on his way to an eighth-place finish.

When Gordon announced in late January that 2015 would be his final full season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the hashtag #JGFinalLap trended on Twitter.

DAYTONA LOOP DATA: In the last 20 races at Daytona, Kasey Kahne ranks third in green-flag passes (4,093), ninth in average running position (16.951), ninth in quality passes (2,446), 10th in laps in top 15 (1,818) and tied for 10th in fastest laps run (71).

ubba Wallace, a new addition to the Roush Fenway Racing stable of drivers, will make his second start at Daytona International Speedway (DIS) in the NASCAR XFINITY Series. Wallace’s first start at the 2.5-mile track came in the July 2014 event, where the young driver started ninth and finished seventh.

Roush Fenway Racing’s Chris Buescher looks to make his second start at Daytona International Speedway (DIS). His first start came at the 2.5-mile track in last July’s NASCAR XFINITY Series race. The Prosper, Texas native started third and finished 12th under the lights.

Elliott Sadler will make his 12th NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) start at Daytona International Speedway this weekend. In Sadler’s previous 11 starts, he recorded three top-five and five top-ten finishes. He also won the pole award in 1997.

This weekend, Dakoda Armstrong will remove the rookie stripes from the No. 43 WinField Ford and begin his sophomore season in the NASCAR XFINITY Series. Armstrong earned three Top-10 finishes and one pole in his rookie year. With more experience in the series and at the tracks, Armstrong looks to make significant gains in 2015.
