It started early with the annual Champion’s Breakfast in the Bill France Room at Daytona International Speedway, where Logano was presented with the traditional champion’s jacket.

Smith was selected to drive the No. 41 Chevrolet after Kurt Busch was indefinitely suspended from NASCAR on Friday afternoon. He had just one practice session Saturday to get comfortable in the car, and his laps were limited to single-car runs, as the Tony Gibson-led team did not want to risk damaging their racecar.
