Mandatory Credit: Mark J. The storm hit as track workers were cleaning up after a car wreck. The crash occurred as the field went down the backstretch heading into Turn 3, when contact from behind by Christopher Bell sent Aric Almirola spinning into pole sitter Alex Bowman as they were trying to move into second place behind leader Kevin Harvick. Ryan Blaney won his third race of at Daytona on Saturday night as a massive crash happened behind him.
Blaney took the lead on a two-lap restart to end the race and had a big lead over Kevin Harvick when Harvick got turned by Daniel Suarez to trigger a huge crash on the backstretch on the final lap. It was a similar ending to the Daytona in February when Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski crashed while racing for the win and Michael McDowell scored the upset victory.
Take a look at the incident that brought out the caution on the final lap of the CokeZeroSugar The final restart was set up by a crash exiting turn 4 when Chase Elliott blocked Matt DiBenedetto's pass for the lead.
That crash also collected a bunch of cars. Tyler Reddick held on to the 16th and final playoff spot despite being in the crash triggered by Elliott's block. He beat his teammate Austin Dillon for the final spot because a driver without a win didn't win Saturday night's race. Chris Buescher finished second but was disqualified after the race because his car failed post-race inspection.
Had Buescher won, NASCAR would have been in the awkward position of celebrating his win to get into the playoffs over Reddick before rescinding it after inspection. Saturday's race was the final race of the regular season ahead of the race playoffs. Kyle Larson was in the crash on the final lap and finished 21st but won the regular season title over Denny Hamlin.
He will unofficially start the playoffs with more than twice the playoff points of any other driver. Kyle Busch , 2, Aric Almirola , 2, The playoffs will be three rounds of three races and a final winner-take-all finale in Phoenix.
Four drivers will be eliminated after every round and four will race for the title at Phoenix. And [Bell] just came with a big run and hit me really hard in a bad spot, and it turned me to the right and tore up our race car and ended our Daytona way too early.
And I got hit from some place. I had the wreck missed, but got hit from some place and that was the end of our day. While we wait under this red flag, take a look at RyanJNewman 's view of this most recent incident during Stage 1. Peru has struggled throughout this ….
The Ravens are coming off …. The Ravens come …. Luckily was able to make it through. A rain delay of almost six hours pushed the race into the night and under the lights, albeit without almost half the field. A car accident just 15 laps into the race — moments before the rain — thinned the contenders and set up a showdown between Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin. Harvick finished fourth, and Hamlin was fifth after leading a race-high 98 laps. Christopher Bell had started the earlier melee when he pushed Almirola too hard near the front of the field and forced the Stewart-Haas Racing driver to bobble as he tried to avoid a slide.
