It hasn’t fazed Matt Kenseth what car or team he’s driving for. The changing of the calendar year, didn’t make him blink either. For Kenseth, he’s still the man atop the scoring tower at Daytona, this time during testing for the upcoming 2013 season.

Anticipation had been building over the course of testing as everyone wanted to see it - everyone wanted to see the pack hit the track with the new Generation 6 cars. Friday afternoon brought forth a pack of 20 cars that let everyone see what they'd expect with drafting. However, it didn't last long as contact between Marcos Ambrose and Dale Earnhardt Jr. would cause a wreck, collecting a total of 10 cars.

Day 2 of Preseason Thunder at Daytona International Speedway offered a little bit of everything, with the highlight coming in the afternoon as the pack returned to the high banks

Preseason Thunder testing with the new NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car continued on Friday at Daytona International Speedway in advance of the 55th annual Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 24.

""I have no idea. I didn't see anything happening in front of me. Just saw the smoke and then a car sideways and I started trying to check up. I feel like I did a pretty good job checking up."

“I don’t know what started it. I know we were in a pack drafting, just trying to learn the cars and what this aero package is doing. Some guys started forming a line on the inside and things started getting a little more aggressive at that point. Somebody must have turned or got turned or something and then they just all started stacking up.”

“No, I haven't seen it yet. But it doesn't really matter. I just feel bad for my Stanley and Richard Petty Motorsports team. You know, I had junior pushing me. He’s just a great drafter, really can feel it well. I guess I just got caught on the edge of the bumper there and with the shaped noses and the tires, just spun me out."

The 2013 Daytona Preseason Thunder test session continued Friday with teams doing single-car runs in the morning session. Sprint Cup rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. took time to talk with Ford Racing while adjustments were being made to his No. 17 Best Buy Ford Fusion about how things have gone so far.

Greg Biffle, driver of the No. 16 3M Ford Fusion, was part of a handful of drivers who met with media at Daytona between the morning and afternoon test sessions Friday. Biffle talked about what the team has done so far, hopes to accomplish and more.
