The Daytona 500 ended under caution when Ross Chastain attempted to take the lead with a daring three-wide pass up the middle, but instead collided with Austin Cindric.
William Byron claimed victory under caution, leading a Hendrick Motorsports 1-2 in the season-opener. Alex Bowman was second and Christopher Bell third.
NASCAR now heads to the state of Georgia at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Byron is the most recent Cup Series winner at the track, but Joey Logano is the defending winner of the spring race there. This race has some added importance this year as its second date has been moved inside the playoffs.
Forecasts for the weekend look promising, so NASCAR likely won't have to face any of the inclement weather that plagued them in L.A. and Daytona Beach.
