DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Greg Biffle and Sam Hornish Jr. wrecked during practice for Saturday night's NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway.

Neither driver was injured.

Biffle and Hornish got together during the second of two Sprint Cup practices Thursday. Both cars hit the wall and sustained right-side damage. Biffle's crew unloaded a backup car and started getting it ready for Friday's qualifying session. It was unclear whether Hornish's team would do the same.

Biffle, ninth in the points standings, was 17th fastest in the practice session at 188.636 mph. Hornish, 25th in points, was ninth-fastest at 189.306 mph.
