Van Gisbergen’s Daytona ARCA debut marred by early crash
The three-time Supercars champion had a short race, completing only three laps before being caught in a multi-car wreck on lap four along with more than two dozen other cars. Van Gisbergen got hit from behind, causing a pile-up that involved his teammate and several other contenders for the win. Despite the setback, his team was able to repair his car to finish 29th after 25 laps. The race, initially scheduled for Saturday afternoon, was rescheduled for Friday night due to expected bad weather. Van Gisbergen, who moved to NASCAR after a successful debut in Cup racing last year, will compete full-time in Xfinity and run at least seven Cup races this season. His experience on the oval track includes a Truck Series race at Indianapolis Raceway Park and a two-day ARCA test in January.
