Daytona 500: Austin Cindric wins Daytona 500 in front of big crash

Rookie Austin Cindric won the 2022 Daytona 500 in his eighth Cup Series start.

Cindric was able to stay ahead of Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney on the race's green-white-checker two-lap restart to win over Bubba Wallace. Blaney got into the wall while trying to pass Cindric before the checkered flag and a crash broke out behind the leaders after they crossed the finish line.
