The following is a production of Dirtymo Media.

All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition of The Teardown.

My name is Jeff Gluck, and I'm along with my co-worker, Jordan Bianchi, literally shoulder to shoulder here in the Daytona International Speedway Media Center.

We're going to talk about a race we saw technically yesterday, Jordan, as is now 11.m. in the morning as we record this, we knew it was going to be a late night, but it also turned into quite an eventful night. I think if you're going to think of the Daytona race at this time of year, this was one that lived up to all the expectations and a little bit more perhaps than we even bargained for. But what a night. What a night. This is the beauty of this race.

And people can knock the format and you can say it, you can criticize Harrison Burton's,

incredible that's a good story and i think it's great and i think it's fun and it's why this

race is so special and you know you can people will say well even if you have it in the

the you know fourth of july it's the same thing

and you get the same draw i don't i don't think so i think because it is where it is and i know

it's not the end of the regular season but it's close enough but this race where it at is special

and it's one of the most anticipated and frankly exciting races of the season year and year out because of the drama that is built

in because of the playoff format. I mean, look, everybody's going to say, wow, I mean,

Harrison Burton is last in the point standings in terms of full-time drivers, 34th. And even after
