WIX FILTERS LAP LEADER NOTES FOR THE DAYTONA 500 NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES RACE AT DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2008.
Kyle Busch led eight times for 86 laps to earn WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors in the Daytona 500.
Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Busch, Denny Hamlin (32) and Tony Stewart (16) combined to lead 134 of the 200 laps in today’s race.
Busch scored a fourth-place finish, his 19th top-five on a superspeedway and 31st in 115 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. He has scored two top-five finishes in his last two Sprint Cup starts at Daytona.
WIX Filters is an associate sponsor of Joe Gibbs Racing and a member of the Affinia family of brands.
BUSCH QUOTES: “It was a good day. We had the dominant car all day long. I could hold it wide open every single lap of the race. Just frustrating to come home fourth, but that’s a part of the Daytona 500 when you run as good as we had all day long. Those guys couldn’t keep up with us, but there was all those cautions at the end that propelled them forward enough in order to get them ahead. The guys in the engine shop gave us some great horsepower. We’ll take it on and got to California and have a good one there.”
