William Byron won his second straight Daytona 500 on Sunday, taking home the checkered flag after some brilliant maneuvering in NASCAR OT in the “Great American Race” at Daytona International Speedway.
The No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports driver led five times for 10 laps to become the fifth driver to win back-to-back Daytona 500s and the first since Denny Hamlin in 2019-20. The race saw a lengthy afternoon rain delay that pushed the finish to under the lights after a late wreck set up overtime.
Tyler Reddick, Jimmie Johnson, Chase Briscoe and John Hunter Nemechek rounded out the top five.
Alex Bowman, Ryan Blaney, Austin Cindric, Justin Allgaier, and Chris Buescher completed the top 10.
