Challenger Daytona 250
Length: 100 laps
Date:
Feb 12th, 2004
Track
opens at 8:15pm EST
Notes: Daytona has 31 degree banked turns. The track looks
wide enough for three or four wide racing, but the bumps in the corners
usually prevent that from happening very often. The Start/Finish
line is in the middle of the tri-oval. Teams have been testing all
winter hoping to start the season off on a good note.

Recap from BUD Shootout
at Daytona
Jeremy Wiedeman and Mike Palmer grab the top two
spots in qualifying.
20 cars started the event and made the race very memorable for all.
The late race battle
for the lead saw 6 cars in the lead pack. Bison leads with bean
close behind.
Horace Brooks was having a good
day until things went upside down. Despite what it seems,
Wiedeman and Reed DO have 4 tires on the pavement.
Bean made a run to
the outside with help from Reed and Plowman. However, the high
line momentum could not carry them ahead.
Bison held off the outside charge
and took win. On his way to Victory Lane, he did numerous
burnouts in the infield.
