Kevin Lepage's hopes of running an entire NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule took a hit on Friday at Daytona International Speedway.Driving the unsponsored No. 61 Ford for Doug Taylor's Specialty Racing, Lepage was bounced from a starting position in tomorrow's Camping World 300 when Jason Keller turned a lap of 50.337 seconds (178.795 mph). Lepage was one of 23 drivers without a guaranteed starting spot, and he was timed at 50.621 seconds (177.792 mph).
In Thursday practice, Lepage posted the 6th-fastest lap among that group, but he was unable to match his speed during Friday's qualifying session.
Lepage had hoped to run the entire season for Taylor, with help from Yates engines and Roush cars, but he will miss at least the first event of the season.
