Sanchez Heads Daytona Truck Field

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL – FEB. 17, 2023 – RIS) Nick Sanchez powered the No, 2 Gainbridge Chevy to the top of the charts in both rounds of qualifying for the NextEra Energy 250 Craftsman Truck Series race. Chase Purdy starts at the rear after a flat right rear tire kept the No. 4 Chevy from being able to take part in the second round and the change is an ‘unapproved’ adjustment according to the rules.
