“It’s the same,” Logano said via Zoom call on Monday. “We fired off last year, goal was to win the championship. This year we fire off, same thing.

The six teams and their drivers: Legacy Motor Club , 23XI Racing , Front Row Motorsports , Kaulig Racing , Beard Motorsports , The Money Team Racing .Again, trying to handicap the Daytona 500 is a dangerous proposition, but if you’re looking for trends and info, here are a few items:or higher at Daytona: Cindric , Bubba Wallace , Justin Haley and Austin Dillon .
