Travis Pastrana lands spot in Daytona 500; IndyCar's Conor Daly will take his shot
Daly raced go-karts at a smaller track inside Daytona as a teenager and twice ran the road course as part of the Rolex 24. But Daly has yet to turn laps on the high-banked, high-speed superspeedway in a Cup car.
He turned to Allmendinger, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kurt Busch, Ryan Blaney, Corey LaJoie and Chase Briscoe for help. He even listened to three-time Daytona 500 champ Denny Hamlin’s podcast for insight.Daly spent two hours in “I think on paper it’s similar,” Johnson said. “There’s a lot at stake here for me, I would say. But personally between two years, man, I’m sitting here with seven championships and 83 wins. Yes, it would absolutely suck to not make the race.
Pastrana might be considered the biggest wild card of the six even though he’s driving for 23XI Racing. He last raced at Daytona a decade ago. But he and Daly have been talking about racing at Daytona for several years.
