The countdown is on.

Today’s driver and car: The No. 14 driven by Tony Stewart from 2009 through 2016. Stewart’s career at Daytona International Speedway was matched by few in terms of total victories — he won 19 times at the World Center of Racing, including four wins in the 400-mile summertime race. But he was winless in 17 Daytona 500 starts.
