The 2012 Daytona 200 delivered another fairy-tale finish with underdog privateer Joey Pascarella and the Project 1 Atlanta team fending off a pack of three other racers to win by a slim 0.048 second margin.

For the Project 1 Atlanta team, the win marked a dramatic turnaround from a let down in 2011.
