Karam’s presence at the 2.5-mile superspeedway holds significance, especially considering his impressive debut in 2022, where he secured a top-five finish with Alpha Prime Racing. Marking his second appearance at the iconic ‘World Center of Racing’, Karam’s journey with SHR has been nothing short of impressive. After a remarkable debut season in 2023, including a career-best fourth-place finish at the Road America circuit, Karam is poised to continue his ascent in the Xfinity Series.

Furthermore, in a show of solidarity, ‘The Florida Man Games’ revealed that their logo would adorn Sage Karam’s part time #26 ride at Daytona.

The Florida-based organization expressed the enthusiasm on Instagram recently, stating, “WE’RE ON A CAR FOR DAYTONA!! We are extremely excited to announce our partnership with @sagekaramofficial @team_shr26 and @shelbyparkmarketing for the 2024 Xfinity Series at Daytona this year! Sage is a warrior and blazing a path in the tire tracks of some of the most legendary drivers in NASCAR history, and we’re excited to welcome him back to Daytona this weekend!”

Adding to the excitement, CRC Industries also reaffirmed its commitment to SHR by serving as the primary partner on the No. 26 GR Supra at Daytona. The iconic green and red colors of CRC Brakleen Brake Parts Cleaner will adorn the race car, symbolizing a consistent partnership that transcends the track.
