NASCAR O'Reilly Series

Looking to contend for the championship this season in the XFINITY Series, Ty Dillon would start off his season on a strong note by finishing third in the Alert Today Florida 300.

It was a race filled with close calls and near misses for Roush Fenway Racing’s Chris Buescher. The sophomore driver in the NASCAR XFINITY Series maneuvered around several big accidents during Saturday’s 120-Lap race at Daytona International Speedway, ultimately pushing his Roush Fenway teammate Ryan Reed to victory, while the No. 60 Cheez-It Ford Mustang crossed the finish line for the season-opener in second.

Saturday’s Alert Today Florida 300 will be a race Ross Chastain remembers for a long time.

Austin Dillon captured the Alert Today Florida 300 pole position and was the highest qualifying Richard Childress Racing driver at Daytona International Speedway. Brendan Gaughan qualified fourth, followed by Brian Scott in the 15th position and Ty Dillon 34th.

Ryan Reed raced down Brad Keselowski in the final turns of Saturday’s NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) race at Daytona International Speedway (DIS), taking the lead and crossing the checkered in a nail-biting finish to earn his first career NASCAR victory in his 40th start.

Roush Fenway Racing’s Ryan Reed made a terrific last-lap move to the inside and got a great push from teammate Chris Buescher to power his No. 16 Lilly/American Diabetes Association Ford Mustang to victory in Saturday’s Florida 300 NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) season opener at Daytona International Speedway. Reed’s trip to victory lane capped a strong kickoff to the 2015 season for Roush Fenway, with three of its four Ford Mustangs leading laps in the race.

Following a crash during the Alert Today Florida 300, Kyle Busch will miss the Daytona 500. The crash saw Busch hit a wall that was not protected by a SAFER barrier.

Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 54 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), sustained a compound fracture of the right lower leg in an accident during Saturday’s NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Additionally, Busch suffered a mid-foot fracture of his left foot in the accident.

Ryan Reed won his first race in one of NASCAR’s top three touring series by taking the checkered flag in today’s inaugural NASCAR XFINITY Series event.

Four years ago, Ryan Reed was told that he would not be able to drive a racecar due to being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Tonight, though, he stands in victory lane as a winner at Daytona International Speedway.
