In a surprising turn of events, SVG, initially unable to qualify for the ARCA Daytona race, will now participate after Eric Caudell withdrew, allowing SVG to fill the vacated spot and bump up to 34th quick. Despite not qualifying originally, SVG's late entry, starting 34th, was facilitated by the withdrawal of the No. 7 car. This development has caught the attention of NASCAR, which was keen on observing SVG's performance in the ARCA race to assess his eligibility for the upcoming Xfinity Series opener. SVG's participation has been confirmed and is viewed as a significant development, given the initial uncertainty around his ability to race. SVG and Kris Wright were both in it, and SVG has rejoined the race.

Good news for SVG fans in his home country the ARCA race starts at 5:22 pm Saturday
Eric Caudell withdraws, SVG bumps up to 34th quick and will race tonight in @ARCA_Racing. I may have voiced the assumption that someone would be involved in that scenario the minute qualifying ended, I just wasn't sure who it would be at the time. Don't hate the player... #ARCA
🚨 SVG will be part of the #ARCA Daytona race! https://t.co/ywfst3uuic
Confirmed, SVG will race. https://t.co/wdaTXtmF3c
SVG will be in ARCA race as the 7 has withdrawn. https://t.co/Les6yJCMG5
With the No. 7 car withdrawing from tonight’s ARCA race, @shanevg97 qualifying lap will now put him in the field, starting 34th.
Everyone is asking me if it is official that SVG missed the ARCA race. The answer is I don't know, yet. Deals can be made in the ARCA garage and I think people are forgetting that.
Interesting development: SVG did NOT qualify for the ARCA race at @DAYTONA that'll take place tonight. #NASCAR was going to watch him in that race to gauge eligibility for the Xfinity Series opener. Don't anticipate it being an issue for him being cleared, but still...wild.
SVG was unable to make the field for the #ARCA race! 😱 https://t.co/DOlUrCIU75
