FRONTSTRETCH TRIVIA:
Q: In 1995, David Green earned a special entry into the Busch Clash in a No. 95 Chevrolet Lumina. How did this come about?
Check back Tuesday for the answer, here in the Frontstretch Newsletter!
Friday's Answer:
Friday's Answer:
Q: Gray Gaulding was recently announced as a driver for BK Racing for the vast majority of 2017. However, Daytona is an exception to that rule for two reasons. Firstly, the team previously announced that Joey Gase will race for them in the Daytona 500.
Secondly, Gaulding has been deemed ineligible to drive at Daytona, despite having previously raced there in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards (he finished ninth last year for Lira Motorsports). What was NASCAR's rationale for not licensing Gaulding to race Cup at Daytona?
A: NASCAR's rationale is that Gaulding has not raced a Cup race on an intermediate track. His previous two starts are at Martinsville (a short track) and at Phoenix (a one-mile oval). Gaulding will debut in the No. 23 Toyota at Atlanta. Assuming nothing ridiculous happens, Gaulding should be approved to race at Talladega later this year.
