B.J. McLeod Doesn't Have The Speed To Make The Daytona 500
After selling his charter to Live Fast Motorsports, B.J. McLeod finished 17th in Thursday's second Duel race and suffered his second consecutive DNQ in the Daytona 500, which hardly came as a surprise. Even with the estimated $40 million he received from selling his charter, Live Fast still does not have a great deal of resources, and his car was simply too slow to compete with Corey LaJoie and Anthony Alfredo, the other two drivers who weren't locked in. He likely would have needed either of them to have bad luck to advance, and even as mistake-prone as LaJoie and Alfredo have been, that's not something you can necessarily count on. LaJoie and Alfredo outran McLeod all race, but McLeod did finish ahead of Jimmie Johnson's other non-chartered entry because he ran out of fuel.
