Flamingo Wins the Daytona 500 in a Teamwork-Fueled Aetherwing Sweep

The 2025–26 Roblox Kmart Cup Series season opened with a spectacular victory for Aetherwing eMotorsports as Flamingo drove the #22 Apex Sim Racing Chevrolet to the win in the prestigious Daytona 500 on September 22nd, 2025.

This race was anything but straightforward. With drafting partnerships deciding the outcome in the closing laps, Flamingo and teammate Will (#94) executed flawless teamwork. The pair locked bumpers and pushed away from the field after the final restart, creating a two-car breakaway that no one behind could match.

On the white flag lap, Will protected Flamingo’s rear quarter panel, holding off a late charge from one of the rival teams and ensuring the #22 car remained stable through Turns 3 and 4. Flamingo took the checkered flag with Will finishing a strong 2nd place, giving Aetherwing a dominant 1–2 sweep at one of the most important races of the season.

This win marks:

• Flamingo’s first Daytona 500 victory

• Aetherwing’s first Crown Jewel win of the season

• A powerful momentum boost coming just one week after Will won the Budweiser Shootout

The Daytona 500 is one of the biggest triumphs a driver can earn — and Flamingo brought it home in style, strategy, and pure execution.

Aetherwing’s season is officially off to a thunderous start.
