Official race results for the 2026 Daytona 500

Chevrolet Ford Toyota Tyler Reddick Daytona 500 23XI 23XI Racing Denny Hamlin Joey Logano NASCAR

Cars were crashing all over the place on the final lap, but NASCAR kept it green as Tyler Reddick used a push from 23XI Racing teammate Riley Herbst to take the lead and win NASCAR's biggest race. This follows a 2025 season where he went winless, but he more than made up for it as he hands team owners Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin's NASCAR's most coveted trophy.

Former Daytona 500 winners Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Joey Logano finished second and third, respectively, and all three 23XI drivers finished inside the top ten.

25 cars finished on the lead lap, but many of them were mangled due to the last-lap chaos. Of the 41 starters, 25 drivers lead lap(s) in the Daytona 500 in a new race record, and while Bubba Wallace led the most at 40, his winning teammate Reddick led only one -- the most important lap of all.
