Reed Sorenson thought his opportunity to race in the Daytona 500 would be one and done entering qualifying on Sunday. After Sorenson blocked #15-Clint Bowyer – and went into the spin cycle process – it appeared the #44 Golden Corral Chevy and Team Xtreme Racing’s hopes to run in the 500 were over. “We don’t have a backup car as of now,” Sorenson said on Sunday after the wreck. But Sorenson got a reprieve. “We had a car back at the shop we weren’t going to bring it unless we needed it,” Team Xtreme owner John Cohen told Motorsport.com on Tuesday. “The car will be coming down tonight.” Sorenson will start 20th (but fall to the rear of the field for using a backup car) in the second Duel for Team Xtreme Racing. In July, he started second in the Daytona Cup race. His best finish on the 2.5-mile track is fifth – in the 2008 Daytona 500.(Motorsport)(2-17-2015)
