Who won the NASCAR race yesterday? Complete results from Sunday's Daytona 500

Austin Cindric’s win at the Daytona 500 could not have come on a better day for his team owner, Roger Penske. The 23-year-old rookie held off Bubba Wallace Jr. to the finish line on Sunday, which was Penske’s 85th birthday.

The Team Penske car #2 driver held off Wallace Jr. by 0.036 seconds and Chase Briscoe by 0.091 seconds to win his first Cup Series victory in his eighth start for the team. Exalted from his victory, Cindric spoke in the victory lane, saying:

“Oh, my God. Do you know what makes it all better? A packed house. A packed house at the Daytona 500.”

He then went on to wish his team owner on the latter's birthday, saying:

“Oh, my God, I’ve got so many people to thank. First and foremost, Roger Penske. Happy Birthday!”

As far as birthday presents go, fans doubt Roger Penske could have had it any better.

Earlier, two separate incidents on lap 190 and lap 195 saw two additional laps added to the scheduled 200-lap race. Austin Cindric was the leader of the pack when the race restarted on lap 200. He kept his lead throughout the two-lap scramble and was able to arrive at the finish line just a fraction of a second before a charging Bubba Wallace Jr. This edition marks Wallace Jr.'s second runner-up finish at the Great American Race
