Cassill in Daytona 500 for first time
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Landon Cassill has a job for the Daytona 500 for the first time in his career.
Cassill said Thursday he's been hired to drive for a team that purchased assets and last year's points from the now defunct Red Bull Racing team. Cassill will drive the No. 83 Toyota, he said, and the points Brian Vickers earned in that car last year guarantee Cassill a spot in the first five races of the season.
Cassill said he has a deal with the new team to drive all year.
