From the July, 2007 issue of Stock Car Insider
Next stop on the Nextel Cup Schedule is Daytona International Speedway
We NASCAR fans are patriots at heart. And there's no better way to celebrate the birth of our nation than at the most beloved track in all of NASCAR, Daytona International Speedway. The beaches of Daytona were already a destination for motor sports enthusiasts before Bill France Sr decided to host the first NASCAR event there in 1947. Twelve years later, the track that we all know and love, Daytona International Speedway opened and hosted its first event drawing 41,000 people.Next week, the NASCAR Nextel Cup teams head to Daytona to perform their craft in front of a crowd of 175,000+. Of all drivers with two or more starts at Daytona, Clint Boyer has the best average finish of 11th. Expect Clint to build on his strong season thus far with a strong finish at Daytona. He currently ranks 11th in points and has an average running position of 16th for the season.
Other drivers to note:
Jimmie Johnson - Average finish of 12th
Dale Earnhardt Jr - Average finish of 13th
Kevin Harvick - Average finish of 15th
Jeff Gordon - Average finish of 15th
