2023 NASCAR Daytona 500: Points table after the race at Daytona International Speedway

It was a memorable day and a perfect start for the 75th anniversary of NASCAR racing. The results of the Daytona 500 came down to late-race crashes once again as JTG Daugherty Racing driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. emerged victorious after a wild wreck froze the field in the second overtime at the Daytona International Speedway.

With the win, he became the 42nd driver to clinch NASCAR's crown jewel and end his 199-race winless streak since winning at Daytona in July 2017.

Meanwhile, two-time Cup champion Joey Logano, Christopher Bell, Chris Buescher, and pole-sitter Alex Bowman.

AJ Allmendinger, Daniel Suarez, Ryan Blaney, Ross Chastain and Riley Herbst completed the top 10.

The 65th annual Daytona 500 marked the longest Great American Race in the history of NASCAR – at record 212 laps. Sunday’s race was three laps and 7.5 miles longer than the 2020 Daytona 500, which held the previous record.
