THIS PRACTICE SESSION A LITTLE BIT OF WORK FOR YOUR GUYS:
“Something just happened in the bottom end of the motor going into Turn 3. Everything was going as planned until then. The Caterpillar Chevrolet tried to diesel on me and it doesn’t like to diesel. We will change the motor, figure out what happened to this one and get ready for tonight with a different race car and qualifying tomorrow.”

MARTIN TRUEX, JR., NO. 78 FURNITURE ROW RACING CHEVROLET SS:

Experience a crack in the oil pan during the second NSCS practice session for the Daytona 500. The team will NOT change the engine.
