Throwback BUSCH: Colin Dryburgh becomes the first driver to trail a busch series race after "big one" strikes early at Daytona

Colin Drybrugh picked up the 1st last place finish of his SCRL Wrangler Jeans Busch Grand National Series career in the Goody's 300 at the Daytona International Speedway when his #6 unsponsored Pontiac was involved in a multi-car crash after 1 of the 20 laps.

On race day, Dryburgh would roll off starting in the 27th spot while the #79 Native Tan Pontiac of Josh Barker would start in the last spot as the field took the green Barker trailed the field for the first four turns before chaos broke out in the tri-oval as a ten car wreck would break out as Dryburgh would run into the back of the #50 unsponsored Pontiac of Dylan Theroux, lifting all four tires off the ground as Drybrugh would limp around the track, pulling into the garage as the car would be listed as "out" by the time the field traveled down the backstretch under caution.

The remaining Bottom Five would be filled up by the second lap by drivers also taken out in the "big one" on Lap 1; 41st went to the aforementioned #50 of Dylan Theroux, 40th went to the #37 of Matt Johnson, 39th went to the #82 Aidan Shepherd and rounding out the bottom five in 38th was the #23 of Brian Fox.
