Close quarter racing at high speeds on high banks under the lights is the recipe for a great NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona.
Adding an additional $100,000 Dash 4 Cash prize raises the stakes even more for all involved.
The top four drivers in the standings – Reed Sorenson, Elliott Sadler, Ricky Stenhouse and Justin Allgaier – are the eligible drivers competing for the bonus. The highest Daytona finisher of those four, no matter where they place, will win the $100,000 “Dash 4 Cash” award and automatically qualify for the next bonus event at Iowa. Sorenson (fifth) and Stenhouse (eighth) were among the highest-finishing driver championship contenders at Daytona last February. Allgaier was 27th and Sadler finished 38th.
The three-highest finishing driver championship contenders at Daytona also qualify for the next bonus event, at Iowa. Those same rules are in effect for the last two “Dash 4 Cash” races, to be held at Richmond and Charlotte in the fall. Nationwide Insurance will award an additional $600,000 to the prize if the same driver captures each “Dash 4 Cash” bonus and wins the final race at Charlotte, bringing the total prize to $1 million.
There will be a distinct “Nationwide blue” windshield logo for the four eligible drivers, which will help fans identify those drivers competing for the bonus. Click here for the graphics package associated with the Dash 4 Cash program.
