Cup Series rookie Austin Cindric won Sunday’s Daytona 500, beating Bubba Wallace by a nose.
The field re-racked for overtime with Cindric lining up on the outside out front with the former driver of his No. 2 Ford, Brad Keselowski, behind him. Cindric quickly dropped low after the restart in front of teammate Ryan Blaney, who tried to move by Cindric on the outside coming down the front stretch.
Cindric blocked Blaney as Wallace ran to his inside, and they drag-raced through the finish. Cindric had the edge, finishing 0.036 seconds ahead of Wallace.
