- Key Takeaway: Bayley Currey and the No. 44 team had a shot at winning Daytona, but ultimately would have their hopes dashed late in the race. Currey played it smart early on in the race, hovering around the middle of the pack and staying out of trouble. When the laps wound down, however, the truck came to life. Currey appeared to make a race-winning move as he took the lead with three laps to go, but was shuffled out of line and collected in a last lap crash.
- Bayley Currey's Post-Race Thoughts:
“[This is] a great way to start off the season. Just got out front a little too far there. I’ve been in a handful of these speedway races and have never led one of them, so I’ll just chalk that up to inexperience. I left the bottom open and got stuck in the middle, and got ran to the back there. I really appreciate everyone on this Niece Motorsports No. 44 Chevrolet. The Masked Owl Technologies, Detroit Quality Staffing, Precision Vehicle Logistics, AutoVentive Silverado was really good tonight. We bided our time and rode around in the back there in the beginning and just wanted to be there in the end. That’s what we did, but it didn’t go our way tonight.”
