They ran a 2.4 hours of Daytona. But I wasn't good enough in the DP cars to bother running... I was a rolling chicane at like -5.0s per lap off the leader.
The good news is that the Daytona 500 ended up running, but there were a ton of connection issues right at the start, so only like 25-30 cars took the start, and the rest of the 42 cars started on pit lane.
I ended up finishing 7th. Probably would have made it to 3rd, but I lost 3 laps when I got disconnected and had to rejoin from the pits.
Tons of wrecks and 10 cautions before the halfway (200 laps total), but really clean and a fun race for the second half. I probably could have threatened for 6th, as I was in the draft with the 6th place car on the same lap, but I figured after 3.5 hours of driving, I'm plenty happy just to finish in the top 10, especially since it garnered me enough safety points to ditch my rookie license the next time upgrades come around.
