The start of the 600 was delayed a day by rain – pushed to Monday’s Memorial Day holiday for the first time since 2009 – and still threatened with more bad weather when it finally got under way around 3 p.m. ET.
Two more weather delays, 16 cautions and nearly six hours later, Blaney held off William Byron – the hottest driver in the NASCAR Cup Series of late – on a 20-lap green-flag run to the checkered flag.
