DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 17, 2003) - The first of a two day test session for the Goody's Dash Series got underway today at Daytona International Speedway.

HOBGOOD SIBLING RIVALARY

Brothers Justin and Jake Hobgood are continuing their sibling rivalry and run for the series championship. Father Will Hobgood was the Dash series champion in 1994.

But he'll have a little competition from his defending champion brother.
