Great work by the Cheever Racing 16 car allowed them to lead a few laps during the race but an engine failure took them out of contention. The Spirit of Daytona 09 car continued their awesome run of solid finishes even with limited on track experience on this still fairly new car. They quailfied 7th, ran as high as the top 5, and finished 11th. The 09 car's usual drivers were joined by DP ace Terry Borcheller.
