It’s becoming clearer and clearer that NASCAR is completely fine with its most prestigious race being defined by crashes and those who avoid them.
William Byron became a two-time Daytona 500 winner Sunday night because he was in the right place at the right time. And that right place wasn’t even the top five. Byron was outside the top five halfway through the final lap before race leader Denny Hamlin got turned to set off a crash that allowed Byron to drive through unscathed for his second straight Daytona 500 win.
WILLIAM BYRON WINS THE DAYTONA 500!
