Sorenson Returns To Daytona
Meet Reed and Have a Frank this Friday: This Friday, July 4, NASCAR fans and Target customers in the Daytona Beach, Fla., area will have the opportunity to meet Reed Sorenson and enjoy a free Ball Park Frank during their Fourth of July lunch hour. The NSCS driver will be on site at the Target store located on 2380 West International Speedway Boulevard (The store is directly across the street from Daytona International Speedway) signing autographs from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET.
Reed will have the Polaroid colors this weekend at Daytona.
New Hampshire Results: The weekend started out
strong for the Target team as Sorenson was marked
sixth after first practice. After 23 cars had run in
Friday's qualifying session for Sunday's Lenox
Industrial Tools 301, Sorenson was sitting on the
pole via his best lap of the day in his No. 41 Dodge,
29.565 seconds. However, rain stopped the session
for over an hour and when the remaining cars cycled
through, Sorenson and the team found themselves
sixth for the start of the race. Sorenson and team
finished in sixth-place after heavy rain ended the
race early on Sunday afternoon. Sorenson’s second
top-10 finish of the season moved him to 31st in the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) driver point
standings.
Picture Perfect: Polaroid will be returning to the track on the No. 41 Dodge this weekend at Daytona International Speedway. Polaroid is proud to introduce its new POGO printer which prints pictures on the go in 60 seconds. This portable printer and other Polaroid products are available at Target.
Daytona History: In three full seasons of Sprint Cup Series racing, Sorenson has five starts at the Daytona International Speedway. His best start and finish came at the Daytona 500 earlier this season. In the 50th running of the Daytona 500, Sorenson started in the fifth position after an incredible showing during Speedweeks. The young driver led two laps during the event, ultimately scoring a fifth place finish. Sorenson also recorded an impressive fifth-place finish in his first appearance in the 30th annual Budweiser Shootout.
In the Points: Sorenson climbed four spots in the NSCS Owner point standings. With 1,378 points, the No. 41 trails 25th-place Jamie McMurray by 278 points and is only 16 points out of the top 30.
98 and counting: Team owner Chip Ganassi has 98 wins under his belt, leaving him just two wins away from reaching a milestone of 100 victories as an owner. His wins have come across a wide variety of racing series including CART, IndyCar, NASCAR Sprint Cup, NASCAR Nationwide, ARCA and Grand Am. Sorenson has four of those victories: three NNS and one ARCA.
