In addition, he will also use the same paint scheme of the car at the races at the Daytona Road Course and the Homestead-Miami Speedway. Hence, it won’t be long before we see the No.5 Chevrolet Camaro in action on the track.

Larson had earlier stated, “I’m excited for Daytona for a lot of reasons. It’s great to be back in a Cup car with such an amazing organization that just won a championship.
