DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Jordan Anderson stood by his Chevrolet Camaro and chomped on a Volpi salami stick after Saturday night's Xfinity Series race. He couldn't stop beaming. He had just delivered yet another top-10 finish on a superspeedway.
Running well on superspeedways is turning into a bit of a habit.
"It really just plays in my driving style," Anderson told AltDriver on pit road after the race. "I'm not super aggressive early on in these races. I kind of let the race fold out and kind of feel the temperature and how the intensity is going to go."
The driver-owner spent much of the race at the rear of the field. Rain washed out qualifying, so NASCAR set the starting order. This put Anderson in 32nd place as he took the first green flag of the day.
He continued to ride around near the field as he expected the Big One to happen and take out numerous cars. This never really happened. The Xfinity Series race had two larger incidents, but they were both in the final stage.
"This was a weird one tonight," Anderson said. "It was very tame early on, everybody gave a lot of give-and-take and there really wasn't the Big One like I thought there was going to be."
Anderson originally crossed the start-finish line fifth as an overtime wreck brought out the caution and ended the race. NASCAR later dropped him to seventh after reviewing the finish.
Still, Anderson had scored his fourth top-10 finish since 2021 and his third at Daytona. He crossed the line fourth in last season's opening race. He then finished sixth in the summer race.
Not too shabby for the team owner who rarely suits up for races.
While Anderson is achieving some success behind the wheel of the No. 32 Chevrolet, don't expect him to take on a full, 33-race schedule. He is too busy focusing on running the team.
His attention will continue to be on supporting full-time drivers Jeb Burton and Blaine Perkins, as well as part-time driver Austin Green. Getting back to the playoffs and continuing to make progress as an organization remains the priority.
But he will still make select starts when given the opportunity. He's having too much fun to fully step away, and his sponsors are in full support of him getting back behind the wheel.
"I'm gonna for sure do the four superspeedway races," Anderson said. "I am going to run the race at World Wide Technology Raceway in St. Louis. It's a big race for us -- it's the home of the Bommarito Automotive Group."
