“You had some more players or some different players, I guess, than you would have had in the past (up front), that part of it’s neat to see.”
In the first two Cup Series races, beginning with the Daytona 500 followed by the Wise Power 400, 19 different drivers achieved top-10 finishes. Since 1973, it was the first time when several drivers have achieved that mark.
Kyle Larson and Joey Logano, both regulars in the top-10, will have to face new competition this season.
