Ford is 0-for-30 in NASCAR’s top 3 series this season, and the manufacturer has lost 3 races this season by a combined SIX one-thousandths of a second.
Cup Atlanta: Blaney loses by .003
Xfinity Texas: Sieg loses by .002
Cup Kansas: Buescher loses by .001

A few things:
Just 3 cautions, fewest in a Daytona race since July 2003. Caution count for the last 5 races is 3-9-1-1-3.
Buescher has half of Ford's 2023 wins.
The penalties for Hamlin and Byron did not cost them the regular season championship.

With only 118 laps remaining, no one will lead 1,000 laps in the 2022 Cup Series season.

Looks like Suarez and the 99 team had a genius call:
Knowing that they wouldn’t get the free pass, they pitted toward the end of the stage 1 and *stayed* one lap down.
That allowed them to take the wave-around and get back on the lead lap for the start of stage 2.

For those uninitiated:
This is qualifying for the ‘01 CART Race at TMS, which was ultimately cancelled 2 hours before the start due to safety concerns from the amount of g-forces the drivers had to endure
Most drivers reported disorientation, and the pole speed was 233.447 mph
This has to be one of the wildest onboards in all of racing man.
