The UPS team working on the No. 6 in the DIS garage
It is the second weekend in a row NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying has been cancelled due to inclement weather. Because of the interruption in the schedule, owner’s points will determine the starting lineup and David will roll off the grid in 31st.
Rain entered into the Daytona area just about an before the first car was set to go out for qualifying, and with the Nationwide race scheduled for tonight, there just wasn’t enough time get Cup qualifying in.
“It’s too bad that we weren’t able to qualify our UPS Ford,” said David. “We had a great day of practice yesterday and were the quickest car in first practice. For last night’s session, we were trying out some things that we’re hoping will help us out for the race tomorrow night.”
David and the UPS team finished sixth the last time they visited the famed 2.5-mile track in Florida, and are hoping for a similar result tomorrow night.
“We’re really excited to race tomorrow night; this is where we earned our best finish of the season. We’ve been trying some different things and working really hard back at the shop and we know that we’ve got a top 10 car that should be able to run up front tomorrow. It’s just going to take one race for us to get some momentum on our side and Daytona couldn’t be a better place for our team to do just that.”
Tomorrow night will be David’s sixth start at Daytona International Speedway.
