Grant Enfinger captured his third win of this ARCA Racing Series career today in the Lucas Oil 200 at the Daytona International Speedway. Enfinger led four different times during the event to lead a total of 42 laps. This was his 22nd top-five and 34th top-10 finish of his ARCA racing career. This win is the first time a Ford has gotten an ARCA victory at Daytona since Ryan Newman’s win in 2001.
Frank Kimmel fell just short of his first victory at the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway this afternoon by finishing in the runner up spot. Kimmel with a new team, started the event from the 16th spot, and finished just 0.158 seconds behind the race winner. Kimmel will use it as momentum to go after his 11th career ARCA championship.
In his fourth ever career ARCA Racing Series start, Martinsville track president Clay Campbell, finished the event in the third spot for his first career top-10. Campbell was driving a car owned by Ken Schrader and will make his next start at the Talladega Superspeedway in May.
Dylan Kwasniewski led the field to the green flag after earning the pole yesterday afternoon with a time of 49.400 seconds, 182.186 mph. Kwasniewski earned the last two poles for events he has entered in. He went on to a 14th place finish and led the second most laps of 34.
Chase Elliott started the day off in the fifth position and had a interesting day. He was involved in a race incident early on with Buster Graham. Elliott went on to a ninth place finish in his first ever restrictor plate race. He was one of the three drivers with Kwasniewski and Tyler Reddick that needed to be approved by NASCAR for their season openers next week.
