Daytona Day 2: Daytona 500 Qualifying Practice And More Danica

We're back with you at Daytona International Speedway for Day 2, which might as well be the calm before the storm.

Today's schedule includes ARCA Series qualifying at 11 a.m. Eastern, followed by a pair of Sprint Cup Series practices in preparation for Saturday's Daytona 500 qualfying: An 80-minute session at 2:10 p.m. and a 90-minute session at 4 p.m.

The ARCA cars hit the track again at 5:40, and Danica Patrick will have a press conference following her run this evening.

Of course, all this is nothing compared to Saturday's event-packed day: Not only Daytona 500 quals, but the ARCA race (Danica's stock-car debut) and the Budweiser Shootout.

Keep checking back on this running blog for practice updates and notes from the track throughout the day.
