I am glad to see that TP199 racing does not conflict with Saturdays SX. Every lap gives him more confidence.

With all of his exposure will a team make an offer for him? 

This is pretty much a one off is my understanding

All the Cup rides are pretty much filled. 
 

And I agree it’s most likely a one shot deal. If he possibly wins it somehow then a door or two might open but that’s a long shot. 
Then again with drafting determining the winner anything is possible. 
 

Good for him for trying 👍

If I'm not mistaken Travis is full time in the truck series this year. The trucks can be the most entertaining of the three major series to watch at times.

Watching it now, I admit I've had my doubts, but he is proving me wrong. Great ride, too bad about Deegan.

is it just me or are they flat out ignoring the Travis in this race ? he is running top 20 and is arguably the most famous personality in the field. All I have heard them say about him is when he was lapped due to his penalty ?!

I thought I saw 17 at the caution, one more of those wrecks could put him there. Assuming he's not in the wreckWoohoo

It's like pulling teeth trying to complete a lap at the end of these super speedway races

Just out of curiosity I went on Instagram and searched Nascars top drivers. I could not find one with over a million followers. TP is at 4.7 million

if he can make the finish it is a huge accomplishment for him. It is not easy finishing a restrictor plate race

It’s Daytona.  Anything could happen.  He could still win.  He could be in the next crash.  To his credit, he has driven a smart race so far and stayed out of trouble.  Top 10 would be awesome.

Well the result will show 14th, but he was 9th when it all went west . 

More than impressed.

But what a shambles of a race... its like cricket on wheels , far too long, when all you are doing is waiting to see if they can do a lap at the end without crashing. 

Enjoyed the In Car with Harvick and  Nascar Radio, but i wouldnt pay again.

He was right there in the lead group with a view at the front. Had to be cool for him.
