Who stands where on the NASCAR Cup Series 2022 points table after Daytona 500

Rookie Austin Cindric won the 64th running of the annual Daytona 500. The Team Penske car #2 Ford Mustang driver was able to keep Bubba Wallace Jr. and Chase Briscoe at bay to win Sunday’s Great American Race.

Meanwhile, 2021 Cup Series champion Kyle Larson had a disappointing race. The Hendrick Motorsports car#5 driver, who was the pole-sitter for Sunday’s event, was collected in a six-car tangle on lap 190, which also saw the likes of Kevin Harvick, Todd Gilliland, Erik Jones and Noah Gragson taken out of contention.

Further, last year’s winner at Daytona, Michael McDowell, finished 7th in his Front Row Motorsports car #34 in this year’s event.
