On 02/13/2023, the drivers of the FTSR Cup Series visited Daytona International Speedway for the running of the Daytona Duel #2.

Steven Loomis would lead the field of 16 drivers to the green flag after a blistering lap in qualifying in his #17 Blackwater Motorsports machine.

The #22 of Robert Melikian took the lead early on in the event and was out front for the majority of the day, leading a race-high 16 of the scheduled 29 laps.

The #42 of Kyle Millikin put on a show for the fans and his Elevated eSports Racing crew during the event, climbing from a 16th place starting position to finish 2nd, up 14 positions. Unfortunately, #44 Flying Tigers Motorsports driver Chris Beck did not fair as well, dropping from a 6th place starting position to finish a disappointing 16th.

The #12 of Timothy Stubblefield set the fastest lap of the event with a lap of 46.539, proving that Omnia Motorsports builds some wicked fast cars and had serious pace this weekend.

At the end of the day, it was the #15 of Nicolas Moreau for FNM eSports who took the checkered flag, leading 5 of the 29 laps on their way to victory in the Daytona Duel #2. The margin of victory was 00.090 over second place finisher Kyle Millikin in the #42 Elevated eSports Racing car. The #51 of Brandon Elder finished in third, followed by the #67 of James Wallace in fourth and the #57 of Joshua L Johnson in fifth.

All eyes turn to next week, where some drivers look to continue their success, while others look to get back on track in the 2023-A FTSR Cup Series season.
