DDS Round 1: Daytona

The first round of the second season of the Dunkin Donuts Series will head to the Daytona International Speedway. With last season's winner Alyssa Longwood not in the running this season, it is really anybody's guess who will win here. Coming in the early favorites have been William Duncan, Chris Claridge, and Tagahari Nawasaki. Will one of them win or will someone else get it done?

(OOC: Series owner Jeff has been away for a few days, so I'm just posting this so in case he doesn't come back for a while and I have to run it.)

Go or go home session will have to be re-ran. Results which were posted here are now irrelevant, due to an issue we have with a owner points dispute between an inactive user and UndyingLight's driver Kaz Makella.

OFFICIAL GOGH session for Daytona:
Roethlisberger, Munari, Makella, Shepherd, Pericles, Hogg, and Anderson make the race, the three part timers, Armstrong, and Jacobs miss out.

Ever since the GOGH race was ran, the Daytona International Speedway has been under constant threat of rain. The rain is supposed to subside soon and we are in hopes of a Tuesday night start time for Round 1. In other news, Round 2 has been announced to be a Friday night doubleheader at Kentucky, with the DDS race preceding the main event, the KFC 400.

Daytona 300 Results: (Jeff ultimately could not run it)
Lap 36: Chris Claridge and Paul Jackson collide on pit entry.
Lap 71: Caution: Ryan Yarbough tries to pit and squeezes Austin James onto the apron and spins him back toward the wall, meanwhile Jacob Long in the 43 comes in and collides with Yarbough.
Lap 131: Caution 2: Tyquan Jacobs spins on the apron after contact from a slower car. Damage appears terminal.
Lap 150: Caution 3: Munari spins.
Lap 193: Caution 4, and this time it's a biggie. Sven Roethlisberger, as the leader, tries to lap Daniel Bouchard on the outside, leading to contact and a spin for both. Darren Weber from 2nd gets minimal damage, and Bubba Martin from third takes a front end impact on the 99.
Lap 200: Harrison Lankford wins at Daytona after passing the damaged Weber in Turn 3.
