DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin and his six fellow Toyota drivers skipped the final practice for “The Great American Race.”
Even action sports star Travis Pastrana, who has little experience at Daytona International Speedway, sat out the 50-minute session Saturday. He is driving a third car for 23XI Racing, the team co-owned by Hamlin and NBA legend Michael Jordan.
“I feel like I have the best Toyota here,” Pastrana said confidently. “I'm just so so proud, stoked, for this team and for them giving me this amazing hot rod.”
