DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Former NASCAR Cup Series regular Greg Biffle is returning to the Daytona 500 for the first time since 2016.

He agreed to drive for a start-up team, New York Racing, and raced his way into the 40-car field during Thursday night's Duel at Daytona. 

Biffle had to beat fellow non-charter driver Timmy Hill to make "The Great American Race." 

The Camas native finished 13th despite running out of fuel with two laps to go. 

Hill was four laps down in the 60-lap event.
