DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Derrick Lancaster led the way on day one of the annual ARCA Menards Series two-day open test at Daytona Int’l Speedway on Friday. Lancaster’s best lap, turned in a draft, timed in at 48.939 seconds at 183.902 mph in his No. “I have someone helping me out with some tricks, and I told him I wouldn’t tell anyone who it is,” Lancaster said the 47-year-old Lancaster, who has five career ARCA Menards Series starts on his resume dating back to 2014. Lancaster’s run at Daytona was his first time back in a race car after a serious injury in a late model last summer could have ended his career. I got up in the air and came down and it just came down wrong.
