during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series DAYTONA 500 at Daytona International Speedway on February 21, 2016 in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Earnhardt Jr. Will Be Man to Beat at Daytona

By Jared Turner ▸ Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a two-time Daytona 500 winner and finished no worse than third in last year's four restrictor-plate races.
