This is the first race for the NASCAR Next Gen car, outside of an exhibition event. There’s a lot of unknowns coming into this weekend.

Daytona Practice 1
Report

Duration: 50 minutes

The car inventory is low. Many teams opted to skip the Daytona test a few weeks ago. They don’t want to crash anything in these practice sessions.

The Toyota group lined up single file in a hurry at the beginning of session one. Most other cars are making single car runs.

The cars look very stiff in practice. It’s visually far more bouncy for the driver in the cockpit than years prior.

Michael McDowell wins Daytona 500 practice 1! He jumped to that spot with just a few minutes remaining in the session. McDowell was in a pack with the Front Row Motorsports and Roush Fewnway Keselowski machines.
