NASCAR Cup Series

David Ragan will go to Daytona International Speedway this week with a standout partner and a car that knows how to find Victory Lane. The bright yellow and green colors of Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts return to the No. 34 Ford this weekend in NASCAR's first race at a restrictor plate track since Ragan's dramatic win at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway on May 5.

After earning a career-best 19th-place finish at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeeday in May, Josh Wise is eager to go back to a restrictor plate track. His No. 35 MDS Transport Ford team will be ready to go racing at Daytona International Speedway this week for Saturday night's Coke Zero 400.

Everyone jokes that David Ragan owes David Gilliland a victory. After Gilliland pushed his teammate to Front Row Motorsports' first win at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway for a 1-2 finish in May, it's only natural to rib Ragan about returning the favor this weekend at Daytona International Speedway. Gilliland is very much in favor of that role reversal.

The victory moves him to fifth in the standings and, even more important, three bonus points up on Jimmie Johnson in re-calibrated Chase points.
