On Saturday, Feb. 15 at Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR kicks off the 2014 season with the annual non-points event – the Sprint Unlimited. Similar to last year, the exhibition race’s format, starting order and restart order for the final segment will be determined by an online fan vote. Among the 18 drivers who are entered are first-time participants Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Can Kevin Harvick, who moved over to Stewart-Haas Racing during the offseason, duplicate last year’s success?
