NASCAR Cup Series

Justin Allgaier will be making his second NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start this weekend at Daytona International Speedway (DIS). Allgaier qualified his way in to the Daytona 500 in February with the No. 51 BRANDT Professional Agriculture Chevrolet. He led four laps in his first start at the 2.5-mile superspeedway, but his night ended in an accident with just a few laps to go in the race. He has two top fives, five top 10s and has led 20 laps in 10 NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) starts at the famed superspeedway. Allgaier also has experience in the ARCA Racing Series at DIS with two top 10s in two starts.

No. 55 Aaron’s Dream Machine Driver Brian Vickers learned a lesson or two about drafting where many NASCAR fans consider a most unlikely place —on his bicycle. The avid cyclist said it was on a bicycle where the workings of aerodynamics were made clear. He will apply those lessons Saturday night when the NASCAR Sprint Cup series races under the lights at Daytona International Speedway where drafting and aerodynamics are critical to success.

Stenhouse has four career starts at DIS, completing 763 of 763 laps (100%) with an average starting position of 23.0 and average finishing position of 12.5.

Good afternoon, everyone. Today we're joined by Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 42 Target Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Kyle, you're halfway through a strong rookie season and you're on pace to become the first rookie to make the Chase since 2006. To solidify that goal you need a first win. What do you think your chances are this weekend at Daytona and in the remaining nine races before the Chase?
