Kaz Grala: Makes Daytona 500 Field

Grala finished 18th in the Bluegreen Vacations Duel 1 NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway Thursday night.

Analysis:

The Money Racing Team driver made enough moves and put the other open qualifying drivers in his rear view mirror. Grala would finish two laps down to the leaders, but by virtue of his finish he qualifies for the field of the Daytona 500. This will be his second-career start in the Great American Race.
