Nascar Truck – Kyle Busch at the finish at Daytona

Kyle Busch (Kyle Busch Motorsports) a eu chaud hier soir à Daytona, mais le pilote du Toyota n°51 a remporté la victoire de la NextEra Energy Resources 250 disputée en Camping World Truck Series pour 16 millièmes d’avance sur Timothy Peters (Red Horse Racing). C’est son 36e succès en carrière dans la discipline mais son premier sur l’ovale floridien. Kyle Busch devient le premier pilote à s’être imposé en ARCA, en Truck, en Nationwide et en Sprint Cup sur ce circuit. Johnny Sauter (Thorsport Racing) complète le tiercé de tête devant Ryan Truex et Ron Hornaday Jr (Turner Scott Motorsports).

Michel Disdier had high hopes when he lined up at the start of the race in his No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado. Starting from 33rd position, the Frenchman was able to reach the finish line in 24th place after avoiding a pile-up that occurred on the 74th of the 100 laps leaving around ten competitors behind. The Green Light Racing driver could have claimed a better place in the hierarchy if a window problem had not caused him to lose several laps.

The race will be broadcast from 16 p.m. on Motors TV.
