3 months ago he was still a teenager. Yesterday, with a little bit of help from wild Florida July weather, long shot Justin Haley won the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. It was only his third race in NASCAR’s Cup Series. The race was cut short due to lightning in the area. A big crash also helped him get out of 27th place. Congrats to the Q105 winners who got to be there live!
