DAYTONA BEACH -- Carl Edwards is a speed demon and his pole-winning qualifying time for the Daytona 500 is a testament to that label: With a lap of 194.738 mph today, he posted the fastest time in more than a decade on the super speedway.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Martin Truex Jr. won the pole for today's 34th annual Budweisrer Shootour at Daytona Internationl Spedway.
Driving the No. 56 NAPA Auto Parts Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing, Truex drew the pole position for the shootout. Making his second career Budweiser Shootout start, Truex peeled off the No. 1 wrapper on the Budweiser bottle.
"Came here with a plan and I'm sticking to it," said Truex Jr., driver of the No. 56 NAPA Auto Parts Toyota owned by Michael Waltrip Racing, on his strategy of winning the 75-lap non-points race.
