Nationwide Series 2012 - 1 Daytona

The first 4 laps were great.  I worked my way up to 6th with Darrel close by and Chad not far behind.  But it was Scot and Sandy who would benefit from some sandbagging strategy.  Coming into turn 3, I bumped Edwards and we both came off the wall.  He kept going and I went down into 2 cars.  Mayhem ensued.  Darrel was in the middle of it with Chad slamming into the back of Morgan Sheppard.  Sheppard flew through the air and landed on my hood taking me out.  From there, Sandy just hung along until he could repair some damage.  Scot also hung on and minded his own business.  Unfortunately Scots computer died and he lost a few spots to finish 18.  Sandy ended 15th.
