Matt DiBenedetto begins his Daytona 500 in 23rd, will not contend
4 years agoDiBenedetto has one top-ten finish in the Daytona 500 in 2017 where he finished in ninth. Other than that, the Menards driver has not finished every lap and has crashed out a couple of times as well. In 2019, he did lead nearly 50 laps but he started ninth. Now this year, he is starting from the 23rd position. The problem is the driver simply cannot stay away from the wall. If he is lucky, DiBenedetto could stay on the lead lap which maybe gives him a chance to finish in the top-20.
