Grant Enfinger started off the 2014 ARCA season with a big bang at Daytona International Speedway.

The qualifying session for the ARCA Series on Friday was proven chaotic. Bobby Gerhart won the provisional pole, but failed post-qualifying tech after ARCA officials found an illegal U-bolt on the car. He was one of five drivers whose qualifying times were disallowed, giving them provisional starting spots at the end of the field.

This weekend Mackena Bell heads to Florida as a contender, but hopes to return to North Carolina as a winner. For Bell, the forthcoming races in New Smyrna and Daytona are not only two opportunities to win a race, but also two opportunities to send her message. In a sport that has traditionally been dominated by men, Bell looks to disprove the notion that gender plays a role in one’s ability to compete in motorsports.
