GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ISABELLA ROBUSTO delivered a solid fourth-place performance in ARCA General Tire 200 practice at Daytona, landing her No. 55 Mobil 1 Toyota right in the thick of Nitro Motorsports’ complete top-six sweep of the session.
  • While Jake Finch topped the charts at 184.132 mph, ROBUSTO held her own in the superspeedway draft, proving she belongs in the conversation with the series’ established drivers ahead of Friday’s crucial qualifying session.
  • The 40-car field will be determined through Friday’s qualifying format that sends drivers out in groups of eight for four-minute sessions, with ROBUSTO positioned well to lock into the race on speed rather than relying on provisionals.

UPCOMING:

  • Sioux Chief PowerPEX Pole Qualifying – Friday
  • General Tire 200 – Saturday, February 14
