For the second day in a row Roush Fenway Racing's Erik Darnell led the way in single-truck runs during NASCAR Preseason Thunder testing at Daytona International Speedway.
Wheeling the No. 99 Northern Tool + Equipment Ford, Darnell picked up substantially over the previous day's top run with a lap of 178.547 mph on Saturday during NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series testing. On Friday he turned a lap of 177.210.
Just behind Darnell in the morning runs were the No. 29 Dodge of Scott Lynch and the No. 5 Toyota of Mike Skinner.
"We just need to get things going. We chose to bring a little different package down here to Daytona this year,'' said Skinner. "We have a little more down force, and our truck is not as slick as some of the other guys, but we're okay. We're just having fun."
At the end of the day, the No. 2 Chevrolet of Jack Sprague and No. 7 of Andy Lally ran into each other in the garage, causing both teams to do some minor repairs to those entries.
The No. 9 Germain Racing Toyota of Justin Marks was fourth-quickest, followed by the No. 4 Dodge of Stacy Compton, who shook down both of Bobby Hamilton Racing-Virginia's trucks in the morning before teammate Dennis Setzer arrived at noon.
Setzer had been in Hickory N.C., until midnight at the bedside of his 65-year old mother, Tommie Newton, who suffered a stroke Wednesday night during emergency kidney stone surgery.
