Good night at The Beach for NAPA crew.

Although the Pepsi 400 victory went to Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Incorporated didn't leave the Daytona International Speedway winless after Michael Waltrip's #15 NAPA pit crew scooped the honours in the latest round of the McDonald's Drive-Thru Pit Championship fuelled by Powerade.

It was the second time this season that Waltrip's No. 15 crew claimed the $20,000 first-place prize. The crew's other victory was at Texas Motor Speedway in April.

The Daytona victory lifted Waltrip's pit crew into sixth place in the McDonald's/Powerade standings with 562 points.

Waltrip's DEI teammate, the pit crew for Dale Earnhardt Jr., continues to lead the competition with 638 points. Elliott Sadler's pit crew is second with 614 points and Kurt Busch's crew remains in third with 588. A $200,000 bonus awaits the season champion.

During Saturday night's 400-mile event in Daytona, Waltrip's NAPA Chevrolet logged the least amount of time on pit road - 175.899 seconds. Coming in second was Ricky Rudd's Motorcraft Ford with a time of 178.633. Third was Dave Blaney's AOL Chevy at 180.120.

The over-the-wall pit crew for Waltrip's team consists of: Brian Chase (jackman), Jeff Opal (gasman), Chris Crumley (front tyre changer), Greg Osborne (rear tyre changer), Shawn Ward (front tyre carrier), Chad Walter (rear tyre carrier) and Tom Vigue (catch can). The team's crew chief is Richard "Slugger" Labbe and the pit crew coach is Walt Smith.
