- Sorenson finished ninth—his second consecutive top ten finish in the Daytona 500.

- Sorenson said his Dodge ran better in the high groove throughout the race. He nearly pushed teammate Elliott Sadler to victory.

- The McDonald’s Dodge benefitted from pitting just before the caution fell on lap 117. The caution enabled Sorenson and Sadler to restart first and second.

“All in all that was a pretty good night for the McDonald’s Dodge. We could run well in the high and middle groove but we couldn’t run low. There at the end I was doing everything I could to help Elliott out. I wish it had rained a little bit earlier. But Richard Petty Motorsports had a really good day. We had ourselves in position to win.  It’s fun to get out there and race in the front of the field. We'll go to California and try to ride some of this momentum.”
