FedEx Racing highlights

....“Coming off of qualifying we knew we had a car capable of running with the leaders."... After ten laps, both single file and side-by-side, the officials deemed the track ready for racing and the green flag waved to bring the field, and rain-soaked but enthusiastic crowd, to life...Leffler knew from the onset that the #11 was too loose to challenge and after dropping out of the draft he lost several spots as the cars in the line pushed by him on the inside. By lap 18 Leffler had dropped back to 35th and radioed crew chief Mike Ford that the car was loose everywhere....
When Bobby Hamilton, Jr. lost a tire and hit the turn one wall on lap 103, the caution flag flew for the sixth time of the night. The FedEx team made the decision to stay out and lead a lap in order to pick up the five valuable bonus points for the first time this season. When Leffler brought the car in on lap 105, Ford again ordered a track bar adjustment along with fuel and four fresh tires....Jason Leffler piloted the #11 FedEx Monte Carlo to an 18th place finish at Daytona International Speedway, marking his best result since a 12th place finish at the Advance Autoparts 500 at Martinsville Speedway on April 12...

Lefler finished 18th place!! Way to go Jason!
