Heavy hearts coming back to the Daytona track,
But healing can begin - fans and drivers come back.
Sterling's Dodge on the pole - cars shine under the lights,
It's a blur of colors - a hot roddin' Saturday night.

Ward then Sterling took us to memory lap 3,
Apropos Harvick, Mikey, then Jr. took the lead.
Under the green - team pit strategies begin,
Races can be won or lost by these men.

Jr. again dominating and led to ½ way,
Houston against the wall - right front went away.
All want tires and gas - pit lane is a busy place,
Jr. again top dog is setting the pace.

Coming to the end pit calculations going down,
Will it be two or four - as several are pit bound.
At pit entrance we finally got "the Big One",
Cars bumping and banging - all clinch their buns.

Benson had pitted earlier now takes top spot,
Then yellow in air for Gordon, he's smoking and hot!
Single file restart with less than 10 to go,
Benson and Blaney tight, there's not a hole.

Jr. shoots to the front - Mikey's on his rear,
An opposite 1-2 Daytona for DEI this year.
So as Jr. and Mikey trench the infield,
We don't forget Dale Sr. and never will!
