Two-time Daytona 500 champion Michael Waltrip will attempt the Daytona 500 and drive for Hillman Racing with the sponsorship from Walktrip's longtime sponsor Aaron's. He will drive No. 40 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota on Feb. 26.
It will mark Waltrip's 75th start at Daytona in NASCAR's top three series which is the most of any driver at Daytona in NASCAR.
"Aaron's really does make your dreams come true," Waltrip said in a release. "When I was a kid thinking about racing in Daytona I never dreamed I would start more NASCAR races there than anyone. That's amazing."
Waltrip won last year's season-opening race at Daytona in the Camping World Truck Series.
