On Friday, Herbst drove the No. 35 car in qualifying at Daytona International Speedway. That effort resulted in a 5th place starting spot.

The race is scheduled for Saturday night. Herbst told the team that he didn’t feel 100% on race day.

The team has elected to put Harrison Burton behind the wheel of the No. 35 for tonight’s race. The race is about to get underway.
