National Battery Day: As coincidence would have it, Sunday, Feb. 18 not only marks the 66th running of the Daytona 500, it also happens to be National Battery Day.

Already the winningest manufacturer in NASCAR history at Daytona International Speedway (DIS), Chevrolet has the opportunity to add yet another monumental feat to that legacy – entering the 2024 season-opening weekend with 99 points-paying victories across NASCAR’s three national series at the “World Center of Racing”.

Allmendinger has made 21 NCS starts at Daytona International Speedway, earning three top five, seven top-10 finishes and leading 30 laps.

The 2024 NASCAR season officially kicks off this week at ‘The World Center of Racing’ for the 66th running of ‘The Great American Race.’

Zeigler Auto Group and Gainbridge, a Group 1001 company, will serve as co-primary sponsors aboard Carson Hocevar’s No. 77 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in Sunday’s 66th running of the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway.

The Daytona 500 is where NASCAR careers are born and, for Josh Berry, Sunday’s 66th running of the Great American Race will mark his first official points-paying Cup Series outing at the 2.5-mile superspeedway.

A new face will sit behind the wheel of the No. 62 Beard-family owned Chevrolet in driver Anthony Alfredo. A native of Ridgefield, Connecticut, Alfredo brings a fresh perspective to competing – something that has served him well in his young career.

Truex will be making his 20th career start in The Great American Race. His first Daytona 500 came on Feb. 20, 2005. He started 10th in that race and finished 34th after engine issues sidelined him with just 22 laps remaining.

Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, on racing on superspeedways: "We’ve run well but we just don’t have the results to back it up – whether it was running out of fuel or getting involved in an accident late in the race battling for the win."

NASCAR’s biggest race of the year, the Daytona 500, kicks off the 2024 Cup Series season on Sunday at Daytona International Speedway with Ford Performance looking for its third win in the last four seasons.
