On the final lap of the Fresh from Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway, Corey Heim initially believed he finished second in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series opener. However, after Parker Kligerman’s disqualification due to a low ride height, Heim was declared the winner. Kligerman had surged into the lead but faced a disqualification following a multicar wreck in Turn 4 that led to the caution. Heim, grateful for the victory, also expressed sympathy for Kligerman’s misfortune.
The disqualification of Kligerman allowed Giovanni Ruggiero to secure a runner-up finish in his Truck Series debut, with reigning champion Ty Majeski coming in third. Grant Enfinger overcame rear damage and a pit road violation to finish fourth. Chandler Smith led 38 laps but ended up in sixth place behind Justin Haley. Pole winner Ben Rhodes had to settle for 20th after a wreck on lap 83. Actor-turned-driver Frankie Muniz achieved a career-best 10th place in his fifth Truck Series start.
