The #42 Smith-Ganassi Dodge driven by David Gilliland ran in the top 15 for the majority of the first 80 laps but was ultimately hindered by a late pit stop and an on-track collision. Gilliland’s insight and experience still brought the #42 Dodge in ahead of drivers Eric McClure (#24), Danny O’Quinn (#01), Kerry Earnhardt (#31) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (#5).
Team co-owner, Eddie Smith, is encouraged by the team’s showing and has high hopes and expectations for upcoming races. “It was a combination of great talent and enthusiastic support from our sponsor, ResortQuest of Northwest Florida, and all the great fans of the #42 Dodge” said Smith. “Smith-Ganassi Racing with Evander Holyfield would like to encourage all of our fans to register to win this great vacation being offered by ResortQuest. We need to let our sponsor know how much David, the fans and the rest of us at Smith-Ganassi appreciate them making Daytona possible for us all.”
