Folks IMSA cars have already taken to the track at Daytona International Superspeedway and that includes Bubba Wallace and his Smooge Racing team. Teammates, NASCAR drivers Corey Heim and John Hunter Nemechek were also behind the wheel of the No. 23 Toyota Supra GT4 EVO.
These NASCAR drivers are just getting their feel for this car and this track. Heim might have the most road course talent out of the Toyota trio. For Wallace and Nemechek, this is going to be even more of a learning experience.
The Cup Series is not just focusing on road and street courses more, but NASCAR itself seems to be filling up with these kinds of drivers. So, you have to keep up with the pace.
In Session 1, Heim would drive around a lap in just over two minutes and five seconds. As of the writing of this article, Bubba Wallace and John Hunter Nemechek don’t have an official lap time.
While the time from Heim was the slowest of the drivers that turned a lap, it’s just the first session. Also, the car looks amazing as you can see in this video from Nemechek.
