The Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet driver took the lead after the final set of green flag pitstops, and narrowly avoided a 23-car pileup in the closing laps. Daytona 500 glory was in sight, but the battle wasn't over just yet.
William Byron (Hendrick Chevrolet) took over at the front when racing resumed after a brief red flag with four of the 200 laps remaining, but Chastain mounted a massive charge coming to the white flag.
