Yeley revealed as driver for NY Racing Team's Daytona 500 attempt
NY Racing Team was a late entry for the 66th running of the Daytona 500, and there's been much speculation around who will actually be piloting the No. 44 Chevrolet this week.
Within 24 hours of qualifying for NASCAR's biggest race, it was still unclear who would be driving NY Racing Team's No. 44 car.
Many initially assumed it would be NASCAR veteran Greg Biffle, who drove for the team in the 2022 Daytona 500, as well as four other races that year. The team's best result came at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where Biffle finished 20th.
However, he has since released a statement on social media, revealing that he will not be the team's driver due to "unfulfilled contract obligations."
Full statement: "It has come to my attention that images of a hauler and car with my name and signature on the side of it have been released. While I had hoped to be running in the 2024 Daytona 500 this year - that will not be happening. Due to unfulfilled contract obligations from 2022 for myself and the team, I have made a hard decision to not participate in any races, until the prior contract obligations have been fulfilled. I wish the team all the best and hopefully I will have the opportunity to race again and win this coveted race."
