SMU alumn starting in the Daytona 500
Robert Richardson jr. had to race his way in and did. His only other appearance was 2011 with Front Row motorsports, but a lot of different rules this year making this much more difficult to do for the small teams.

Did Larry Brown promise him an internship in Nascar in return for his commit?

RE: SMU alumn starting in the Daytona 500
NASCAR Sprint Cup Veteran Aric Almirola, was a Mechanical Engineer at UCF but left after betting out hundreds of other young drivers after he was selected to the Joe Gibbs/NASCAR Diversity Driver Program.
Almirola, who's parents emigrated from Castro's Cuba, was the first Cuban-American to make it to the top of NASCAR, making the Chase in 2014...including his first win at Daytona's Coke Zero 400.
He didn't do that great in the Duels the other day...as he is starting 34th in the 500 tomorrow.
