As one of two restrictor-plate tracks on the circuit, Daytona promises wildly unpredictable racing - that's not including potential jet dryer fires! With the return of the traditional packs, all bets are off.
The Sprint Cup Series and Nationwide Series converge on Daytona. The Camping World Truck Series is off this week and will return July 14 at Iowa.
