		<p>When it comes to his front yard located just north of Dallas, Texas, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/113/david-starr" target="_blank">David Starr</a> is a &#8220;clean freak.&#8221;</p>
<p>If the <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/799/bj-mcleod" target="_blank">B.J. McLeod</a> Motorsports driver has any free time, he can be found diligently making sure it looks perfect.</p>
<p>&#8220;I love mowing my grass,&#8221; Starr told NBC Sports. &#8220;I always have my grass manicured to the max. &#8230; It takes me a day to do my front yard. I like all my bushes perfect. You look at my grass, I got perfect lines in them. I wash my driveway, and I wash the street in front of my house.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s my therapy.&#8221;</p>
<p>The therapeutic effects of his lawn were hard to come by for the 49-year-old Xfinity Series driver last week.</p>
<p>A native of Houston, Starr&#8217;s mind was on his former home and the natural disaster that has befallen the city and <a href="http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Hurricane-Harvey-Death-Toll-Hits-70-442918503.html">claimed the lives of at least 70 people to date</a>.</p>
<p>It was just beginning the recovery and rescue efforts from Hurricane Harvey, the Category-4 storm that made landfall in southeast Texas while Starr raced at Road America in Wisconsin the previous weekend.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was hard to do it, you know what I mean?&#8221; Starr says. &#8220;Here I am, sun shiny day in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and I&#8217;m mowing my grass, trimming my bushes and my yard looks great. You can&#8217;t help but think about the people that their yards are the least of their worries. They&#8217;re trying to figure out what the next step is. It was tough, man. It plays on you emotionally just because you feel so bad.&#8221;</p>
<p>Starr says all of his family is accounted for, but one cousin &#8220;lost everything&#8221; and is living with his parents.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the big scheme of things I&#8217;ve got a lot of family there and everybody&#8217;s doing well and helping out,&#8221; Starr says. &#8220;It could have been a lot worse. It&#8217;s just amazing that much rain can fall and flood the fourth largest city in the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p>While at Road America, Starr&#8217;s attention was &#8220;glued&#8221; on the TV in his team&#8217;s hauler when he wasn&#8217;t practicing or racing his No. 99 Chevrolet.</p>

(Getty Images).</em></figcaption></figure>
<p>The images being transmitted from over 1,200 miles south showed streets and highways flooded to historic levels, air rescues and other surreal visuals in a place Starr called home until 1996.</p>
<p>Starr grew up in north Houston on Highway 45, near the Intercontinental airport and the Greenspoint Mall.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re in locations where I grew up at,&#8221; Starr says. &#8220;They&#8217;re doing live remotes and you can see the grocery store where as a kid you went shopping with your mom with. Just all the different locations. Over there by the Astrodome and Meyarland, there was a race track called Meyar Speedway. <a href="http://www.chron.com/news/houston-weather/hurricaneharvey/article/Staggering-Meyerland-before-and-after-flooding-12172092.php#photo-14028682">That whole Meyarland area was under water.</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>Meyar Speedway was a half-mile asphalt track in southwest Houston where Starr was introduced to stock car racing through to his father, Jimmy Starr.</p>
<p>Though it closed in the late 70s, Meyar Speedway once hosted the most famous names in NASCAR: Petty, Allison, Foyt and more. It was the site of one Cup Series race in June 1971, the Space City 300, won by Bobby Allison.</p>
<p>For seven years, the elder Starr was part of the stock car scene as a member of the team owned by Houston orange juice magnate Gordon Van Liew.</p>
<p>&#8220;My dad got out of the sport when I was about 7 years old,&#8221; Starr says. &#8220;I was hooked. I have all the programs. All the drivers that raced at Meyar Speedway.&#8221;</p>
<p>Two years ago, Starr hosted a reunion for the veterans of Meyar Speedway, with 170 showing up.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought if Meyar Speedway hadn&#8217;t been there (with) all those drivers that raced there, I might not be doing what I do today,&#8221; says Starr, who is 20 years, 442 starts and four wins into his NASCAR career.</p>
<p>&#8220;I fell in love with it as a little boy and I wanted to make sure I gave back. &#8230; A lot of the drivers are in their 80s and 90s. I had a lot of people hug me. Grown men in their 80s hugged me. They were in tears just to tell me thank you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now with Houston and its citizens in need of help, Starr wanted to start giving back again as soon as he returned to Texas from Road America. But his father cautioned him against journeying to Houston.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;ve got the city closed down,&#8221; Starr recalls his father telling him. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think you guys could get here. Even by some chance you did get in here and you started helping people, you&#8217;ve got to race next week and you might get stuck in here. I reckon you&#8217;d probably be best if you stayed there with your family.&#8221;</p>
<p>After a week of physically being in Dallas and emotionally in Houston, Starr made his way to Darlington, South Carolina. He was met with his sport having fully embraced his home&#8217;s plight.</p>

(Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
<p>&#8220;Texas Strong&#8221; stickers dotted all the cars. Ben Kennedy&#8217;s No. 96 Chevrolet was dedicated entirely to encouraging support of relief efforts. <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/14/elliott-sadler" target="_blank">Elliott Sadler</a> announced he would donate all of his race winnings to relief causes.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s cool to come to Darlington, South Carolina, and man, your fellow competitors, your sport that you love and that you&#8217;re a part of really cares,&#8221; Starr says. &#8220;It meant a lot to me. I went over to and thanked Ben Kennedy and some of his team members for what their car looked like. It was just amazing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Though he hasn&#8217;t been able to make it back home in the immediate aftermath of Harvey, Starr and his wife, Kim, joined <a href="http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2017/09/05/guide-to-nascars-hurricane-harvey-relief-efforts/">other members of the NASCAR community in helping relief efforts</a>. They donated a &#8220;substantial amount of money&#8221; to the American Red Cross while also donating supplies.</p>
<p>When Starr watched the TV in his hauler, in the midst of images showing chaos and despair were just as many showing hope and heroism.</p>
<p>&#8220;One of the things I was really proud of as all this was happening and I was tuned into television, watching everything, was all the people helping everybody,&#8221; Starr says. &#8220;It was really touching. It didn&#8217;t matter what your nationality was or the color of your skin was. It was really cool. That makes you really proud of all the people, the different cultures that live there. &#8230; It was just like, man, you are all Houstonians and it was just cool to see everybody helping everybody and rescuing people. It was very touching.&#8221;</p>
<p>Once Starr is done with is racing duties next weekend at Chicagoland Speedway, he plans on finally joining those in Houston and doing what he can.</p>
<p>&#8220;I got some friends that are helping some other friends,&#8221; Starr says. &#8220;These are high school buddies. Helping some other people work on their houses. I&#8217;m going to go down there and just help out for three or four days. Just lend a helping hand, see if I can make a difference in somebody&#8217;s life.&#8221;</p>

		<p class="p1"><span class="s1">DAYTONA BEACH, Florida — After her son Garrett raced to a career-high fifth-place finish in Saturday’s quintuple-overtime Xfinity race, Bethanie Smithley could not contain her emotions. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Memories flashed to when he wanted to race even though neither parent knew anything about the sport other than what they viewed from the stands. Then there was the sign that what they were doing was the right thing. And the memories of how pillow cushions helped Garrett’s racing career.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">All that was before Garrett joined JD Motorsports, an underfunded team that is at the track each weekend but not often noticed.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">He overcame an early spin and avoided the late crashes to collect his third career Xfinity top-10 finish, spurring a family celebration on pit road afterward.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“It’s the satisfaction that going out on a limb for your child<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>when you don’t necessarily want to go out there … is worth it,’’ Bethanie said between tears. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“It’s the payback. It’s the affirmation that we made the right decision and that all the sacrifices we made, the family vacations we didn’t take, it was worth it.’’</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/801/garrett-smithley" target="_blank">Garrett Smithley</a>, a 25-year-old from Ligonier, Pennsylvania, pointed to the Daytona International Speedway stands and about where he and his family sat 12 years ago.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">A passion grew. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">He started racing in 2007 in Bandolero cars. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“I had to learn to tow a race trailer,’’ Bethanie Smithley said.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“I had to learn how to be crew chief,’’ said RK Smithley, Garrett&#8217;s dad.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">One of the requests the family made before buying a Bandolero car was that they be showed how to set it up.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“We could have never dreamed this would turn into a profession,’’ Bethanie said. “We thought it would be a short-term hobby. Every time he’s moved forward there’s just been some provision that I felt was divine providence for him to be a race car driver.’’</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The first time Garrett went to test a Legends car, they pulled up to the shop. When Bethanie opened the truck door to exit, Bill Elliott stood 2 feet away. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“He was one of our favorite NASCAR drivers,’’ she said. “To me that was kind of a sign that it’s going to be OK that your son wants to go racing. All along the right person has come along at the right time to help him move forward.’’</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">While driving a No. 43 Legends car, Garrett&#8217;s talent was spotted and he was invited to a Richard Petty Driver Search. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Former Daytona 500 winner <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/43/derrike-cope" target="_blank">Derrike Cope</a> saw Garrett at a test, leading to Garrett’s ARCA debut in 2014. He shared a car at the test with another driver, who was much bigger. Garrett’s parents brought pillows from their hotel couch so he could fit in the seat.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The following year, Garrett made his Camping World Truck Series debut with the Mittler Brothers, the same team <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/166/carl-edwards" target="_blank">Carl Edwards</a> made his series debut with in 2002. </span><span class="s1">Garrett is in his third season with JD Motorsports in the Xfinity Series.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Johnny went on a limb,’’ Garrett said. “He had some better deals. He said I really want you to drive my 0 car.’’</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">As often happens the night before the first race of the season, Garrett couldn’t sleep Friday. He posted a picture on Twitter after midnight of the lit Daytona stands with the note: “Never taking this for granted.’’</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“You come so close to not making it and not making it and not making it … this feels really special,’’ Garrett said.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Enough to make a mother cry.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Along the way somebody has always noticed that talent,’’ Bethanie said. “I fully believe it will lead to him being in Cup one day. I don’t know how long. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“I also say because he’s done so well at these superspeedways, I think one of these days he’ll be in Victory Lane, although right now it feels like we’re there.’’</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Instead, she and RK stood behind pit wall. The sun faded behind the stands and sweepers cleaned pit road. A few people pushed team pit boxes into position to be loaded onto trucks and head to the next race. RK and Bethanie were alone. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">As they walked away, she turned to one person working on the pit boxes that she knew.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“I need a hug.’’</span></p>

		<p><a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/402/tyler-reddick" target="_blank">Tyler Reddick</a> won the Xfinity Series opener at Daytona after a track record 12 cautions, a record five restarts in overtime and one red flag period.</p>
<p>Driving the No. 9 Chevrolet, Reddick beat his JR Motorsports teammate <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/14/elliott-sadler" target="_blank">Elliott Sadler</a> in the closest finish in national NASCAR series history, earning his second Xfinity win.</p>
<p>The margin of victory was 0.000.</p>
<p>&#8220;That was insane. I just saw a picture of it like 10 minutes ago. It’s not much,&#8221; Reddick said in the winner&#8217;s press conference. &#8220;I guess it was just enough, just soon enough.&#8221;</p>
<p>The previous closest finish was .001 in the 1995 Truck Series race at Colorado National Speedway, won by Butch Miller over <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/18/mike-skinner" target="_blank">Mike Skinner</a>.</p>
<p>The top five was completed by <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/563/ryan-reed" target="_blank">Ryan Reed</a>, rookie <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/672/kaz-grala" target="_blank">Kaz Grala</a> and <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/801/garrett-smithley" target="_blank">Garrett Smithley</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Feels amazing,&#8221; Reddick told Fox Sports 1. &#8220;This was a hell of a way to start off the year with JR Motorsports. &#8230; This is a hell of way to get my second win, my first win with JR Motorsports.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reddick is now qualified for the Xfinity playoffs.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s an amazing opportunity,&#8221; Reddick said. &#8220;It&#8217;s just going to take a little bit of time to het honed in. I guess we&#8217;re getting along good right off the bat. We were having some problems all day long. We were having some issues with the motor. I don&#8217;t know exactly what it was, but it held on all race long. It was getting worse at the end.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reddick, 22, led 11 laps in the race. None of them were in regulation.</p>
<p>Overtime was setup by a spin by Sadler with three laps to go in the scheduled distance on the backstretch. Sadler had previously been black flagged along with <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/573/chase-elliott" target="_blank">Chase Elliott</a> for locking their bumpers together for too long with 26 to go.</p>
<p>Sadler was able to mount a comeback thanks to a crash with 22 to go.</p>
<p>It resulted in his third runner-up finish in the last three restrictor-plate races.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was trying to figure out how close to get to (Reddick),&#8221; Sadler told Fox Sports 1. &#8220;My spotter was telling me the 16 (Reed) was coming too, so I didn&#8217;t want to leave him the outside. Man, I really want to win this race. Most eventful race I&#8217;ve ever been a part of. Spun there twice. Got black flagged for absolutely no reason in my opinion but that&#8217;s the way it goes. &#8230; I&#8217;m proud that a JR Motorsports car went to victory lane, but I wish it was us today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Originally scheduled for 120 laps, the race ended after 143 laps. That&#8217;s a series record at Daytona.</p>
<p>The first overtime attempt was marred by a massive wreck on the backstretch that involved 18 cars.</p>
<p>The race marked the 100th for Xfinity as the series sponsor.</p>
<p><strong>STAGE 1 WINNER:</strong> <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/567/kyle-larson" target="_blank">Kyle Larson</a></p>
<p><strong>STAGE 2 WINNER</strong>: Chase Elliott</p>

<p><strong>WHO HAD A GOOD DAY</strong>: Garrett Smithley bounced back from a late-race accident to earn his first top five in his 67th start. His previous best result was eighth in this race last year &#8230; Ryan Reed earned his sixth top five. Four have come at Daytona &#8230; <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/583/spencer-gallagher" target="_blank">Spencer Gallagher</a> finished a career-best sixth in his 41st start. Gallagher had been involved in a one-car accident on the second overtime restart &#8230; <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/17/jeff-green" target="_blank">Jeff Green</a> finished 11th for his best finish since placing 10th at Talladega last year.</p>
<p><strong>WHO HAD A BAD DAY</strong>: In his first start on an oval in Xfinity, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/813/austin-cindric" target="_blank">Austin Cindric</a> started a eight-car wreck in the tri-oval as the field began Lap 11. The wreck eliminated Cindric and <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/771/christopher-bell" target="_blank">Christopher Bell</a> … With 14 to go in the original distance, the caution waived for separate spins by Garrett Smithley and <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/404/michael-annett" target="_blank">Michael Annett</a> in the tri-oval. Smithley was turned by <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/479/ryan-truex" target="_blank">Ryan Truex</a> and Annett was turned by <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/570/brandon-jones" target="_blank">Brandon Jones</a> … Drivers included in the massive crash on first overtime restart: Kyle Larson, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/399/joey-logano" target="_blank">Joey Logano</a>, Chase Elliot, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/529/joey-gase" target="_blank">Joey Gase</a>, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/277/aric-almirola" target="_blank">Aric Almirola</a>, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/407/justin-allgaier" target="_blank">Justin Allgaier</a>, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/425/austin-dillon" target="_blank">Austin Dillon</a>, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/635/matt-tifft" target="_blank">Matt Tifft</a>, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/429/jeremy-clements" target="_blank">Jeremy Clements</a>, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/48/joe-nemechek" target="_blank">Joe Nemechek</a>, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/802/brandon-brown" target="_blank">Brandon Brown</a>, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/620/cole-custer" target="_blank">Cole Custer</a>, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/598/daniel-suarez" target="_blank">Daniel Suarez</a>, Brandon Jones, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/113/david-starr" target="_blank">David Starr</a>, Jeff Green, <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/604/dylan-lupton" target="_blank">Dylan Lupton</a> and Caesar Bacarella.</p>
<p><strong>NOTABLE</strong>: Reddick&#8217;s win is his second at Daytona. He won the 2015 Truck Series opener at the track. The average age of the field was 28 years, 10 months and 11 days, the youngest ever at Daytona &#8230; The 357.5 miles in the race is the second longest race in series history in terms of miles.</p>
<p><strong>QUOTE OF THE DAY</strong>: &#8220;When I have enough fuel, yes.&#8221; &#8211; David Elenz, crew chief for Tyler Reddick when asked if he likes unlimited restarts in overtime.</p>
<p><strong>QUOTE OF THE DAY 2</strong>: &#8220;Either way, fine with me.&#8221; &#8211; JR Motorsports owner <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/6/dale-earnhardt-jr" target="_blank">Dale Earnhardt Jr.</a> after being told the margin of victory was the closest in history.</p>

		<p>Barney Visser won&#8217;t be back to full health for at least another three months, but the owner of Furniture Row Racing will attend tomorrow&#8217;s Daytona 500 three months after a heart attack scare.</p>
<p>The episode kept Visser from seeing <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nas/127/martin-truex-jr" target="_blank">Martin Truex Jr.</a> win the team&#8217;s first Cup championship in person.</p>
<p>It occurred <a href="http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2017/11/10/furniture-row-car-owner-has-bypass-surgery-after-heart-attack/">on Nov. 4 and he underwent bypass surgery two days later.</a></p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing like getting new pipes,&#8221; Visser said Saturday at Daytona International Speedway. &#8220;As good as I feel now, this is a home run.&#8221;</p>
<p>Visser, who has fielded cars in NASCAR since 2005, was back at a track for the first time on Friday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I missed the people and the competitive spirit,&#8221; Visser said. &#8220;I heard the engines fire up the other day, and I realized how much I missed that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Visser&#8217;s health scare was preceded by six months of angina, a symptom of coronary artery disease.</p>
<p style="font-weight:400;">&#8220;It was just a burning lung sensation that would come and go,&#8221; Visser said. &#8220;So I should have paid more attention to that.  But my arm was numb all night the night before I went in (to the hospital), and usually you get up in the morning and you shake that stuff off, but it just wouldn&#8217;t shake off.  So I went into the hospital, and they started running tests and did an angiogram that afternoon, and they couldn&#8217;t stent it after ‑‑ they&#8217;ll try to stent it if they can, and one of them was 99 percent blocked, and they just couldn&#8217;t do it. I had to wait for a bypass on Monday.</p>
<p style="font-weight:400;">&#8220;If there was a heart attack, and the doctors in the hospital told me there was, my cardiologist ‑‑ these guys take a lot of pride in this stuff and whether or not the patients have heart ‑‑ he doesn&#8217;t think I did because of the numbers, but I think what happened is on the gurney on the way to the angiogram, it just felt like somebody was ripping my chest open, and I started complaining about it, and they handed me a nitroglycerin, and I passed out at that point and don&#8217;t remember much after that.  They did the angiogram, and I remember a bossy little woman who was the doctor.  She was an angioplasty specialist, and she was going to do the stent.  Everyone was terrified of her.  That&#8217;s all I remember about that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Visser said his father underwent bypass surgery 40 years ago. But the team owner said he never thought he wouldn&#8217;t make it through the procedure.</p>
<p>Visser believes he&#8217;ll have more energy at the race track following his ordeal.</p>
<p style="font-weight:400;">&#8220;I feel like I&#8217;ll have a little more gas after the race now,&#8221; Visser said.  &#8220;I remember Claire (B Lang of SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) talking to me a few times after wins, and I don&#8217;t ‑‑ I just was almost dead.  I didn&#8217;t realize how tired I was.  I think it&#8217;ll be better now.  I&#8217;m looking forward to that.&#8221;</p>
