What a long and wild night the Daytona 500 turned out to be! Early on, before the red flag, the guys out there were very aggressive and caused one of the big ones just before the rain delay. It took out some really fast race cars and changed the rest of the race. After the rain delay, Denny Hamlin came out and dominated by winning Stages 1 and 2. But it wasn't enough at the end. With the 22 car leading on the last lap and his teammate in the 2 behind him, it got crazy. The 2 got a push from the 34 and the line he was bringing which jolted him forward. It looked like the 2 would make a pass on the 22 until they made contact and would take out a lot of drivers at the end. The 34 of Michael McDowell skated through the wreck, along with Chase Elliott and Austin Dillon and were in a drag race until the caution came out. NASCAR scoring had McDowell in the lead at the time of the caution, and since the white flag had flown, the race was over. It was a very exciting Speed Week, and I'm looking forward to the Daytona Road Course next week!
