No one is talking about bowman? Came back from a spin, (mostly) avoided 3 wrecks, and even after getting caught in the last big one he finished 7th? That's damn impressive.
As a Chase Elliott fan Chase blocked one to many times that wreck was on him overall I thought this race was pretty good definitely better than this year's Daytona 500
I dont think he blocked one to many times... he knew he had to block to stay out front. He anticipated Matty D move and was a fraction of a second late. If he had moved up just a little sooner that would have been a hell of a block. He was just a tad late... but he did a really nice job of anticipating what Matty D was about to do.
He had a quick car and if he had just stayed high or low he would have been able to stay close to the front and with this package he should have be able to get up to the front
@Daniel G this package was a lot safer then what we had at the start of the year we had no cars get airborne so this wreck was 75 percent chase for double blocking in a corner 25 Denny for push matt into it
@@Tayd0g I think people just read a little too much into that. It poured rain yesterday that grass was sopping wet and they're only skidding through it at 180 mph I'm pretty sure the guy didn't T-Bone Kyle Busch on purpose. What the f*** is wrong with you people anytime you see anything instead of just assuming it's the most likely thing you go for the most drama thing. Look it walks like a duck quacks like a duck floats like a duck I bet it's a f****** tyrannosaurus Rex.
Once again any race is great when my guy Blaney wins. Sucks Austin Dillion misses out on the playoffs, but super awesome Ryan Blaney goes out and gets back to back wins at Daytona! Now go to bed Eric
I was there and it was absolutely amazing. I go to every Daytona race usually and the fans were awesome. Alot of families and everyone was into the race. You couldn't ask for more!
@@kingsally2864 I know that it sounds silly, but that totally seems like something God would do. It's in a totally different stratosphere than Job though lol
Shoutouts to Wallace, Newman, and Preece for top 5s so close yet so far Haley, McLeod, Bilicki on top 10s and Jones for top 15s Lajoie for top 20 (uggggh)
Even though I didn’t get the finish I was hoping for (Dillon win), I think it was the best superspeedway racing Ive seen for a long long time. Even my grandfather that has 0 interest in motorsports whatsoever was on the edge of his seat with the action. Im sure this will go down as one of the best of the decade.
Seems you haven’t been around NASCAR very long. Must be around Eric’s age to know this type of racing will be short lived as NASCAR has tried it before
Watched Reddick sit on the apron during the red flag thinkin take it to the garage bud, A for effort.. but top 5 finish?! (6th before the DQ of the 17) Did NOT notice that he was up there until you showed it!!!
I was excited about this race for a few reasons. The obvious is how the race was run... Very exciting. But more enjoyable for me was that my grandmother watched it with me and it was the first race she has seen since my grandfather has been gone. Seeing her bounce around and yell at the tv was a site to see. Over all the race was a good way to end the regular season.
Bruh, Austin Dillon was tweaking avoiding all those wrecks up until the final one, and even went from the back to fourth and had a shot to win if he didn't get shuffled back and involved in the last lap crash. Thrilling race at the very least.
So sad neither of the driver who needed to win couldn’t win. Such great lead changes like Matt dibenedetto, Ross chastain, Lajoie, Chris buscher, and even Daniel Saurez could’ve make the lead if it weren’t for Kurt Busch. At least we have one more plate track.
Man that was a great race. I love my boy Blaney has gotten 3 wins this season. Hoping he can build on this momentum. He could be a contender for the final four.
Same here, it sucks seeing Byron taken out at pretty much every "restrictor plate" race besides the 1 he won, he's always fast too. Ohh well glad Reddick hung on.
Having grown up going to Sharon Speedway (now owned by Blaneys) and was around when Frank Crash had sponsored Lou Blaney - it is Ryan Blaney all the way.
*Harvick fan here* Harvick had his best shot to win all year tonight. His superspeedway cars have been fantastic this year, capable of running up front every time. Frustrating move by Kurt there, because I think Harvick would have had a shot. Look for him at Talladega though! If he can make it out of the Round of 16, he could be a surprise Round of 8 appearance.
At this point every Superspeedway race has a huge block that causes a huge wreck. Think about it, the 400 last year reddick made that block, the fall Talladega Dibenedetto almost wrecked everyone on the last lap, the 500 this year Logano did it, the Talladega race this spring had one from Hamlin that caused the one big wreck, and then this race with Elliott. Plus many more examples from races before. It is basically inevitable at this point.
This is one of the best superspeedway races in the last year or so definitely. It mostly didn’t get too chaotic until the end and it had better pacing than the superspeedway races this year and some last year that looked more like a demolition derby than a race
Overall, this is one hell of a Daytona race this year, but a nice way to end of this season! First we got the Daytona for the first race of the regular season and now we got Daytona once again for the final race of the regular season! So many big wrecks happened as always and I’ve seen lots of underdogs coming into the Top 20 and Top 10 such as Landon Cassill for example, it’s a shame that he got taken out from the big one that happened. It’s nice to see Ryan Blaney get his 3rd win of the season and it’s the 2nd time he’s won in the BodyArmor car!
Had Kurt’s push not turned into a hook this was Suarez’s race to win. He had the momentum and think he could’ve cleared Harvick & Blaney, though that would’ve been close. So close there, but the push he was getting just didn’t work out for him. It did work out for Bilicki & McLeod, though. Regardless of the wreck, happy to see them Top 10.
St Augustine is a beautiful city I like going to the old part of St Augustine where it looks like a fort with all the old shops. Me and some friends road trip down there when we were 18 we were going to Daytona Beach to party but there weren't any rooms so we stayed in St Augustine and I was pleasantly surprised I mean not a party town but a really cool town.
I’m mixed on having Daytona as the regular season finally. While safety has come such a long way, having that many drivers in the playoff bubble, just creates a dangerous situation. Great race for the fans, but a ridiculous amount of torn up cars.
Impressive effort from Austin Dillon. Can't help but think how angry fans would have been if Logano made that aggressive block that Elliot did. Loved seeing Lajoie up front for a change!
Would like to take a moment to remind everyone Preece’s wreck avoidance in two separate incidents was phenomenal! And gets the top 5 he deserves! Would have loved to see him win it but was also rooting for Lajoie on the last restart! DW voice- “ What a finish!”
Couple of things here: I absolutely loved this race bc it was clean fair and respectful racing most of the race. Wasnt sloppy or gimmicky. Not a wreckfest. I'm sure everyone felt the suspension of the big one building up all the way to the end wondering when it was gonna happen. I cheer for all the Hendrick cars but I didnt want any of them to win. I didnt want blaney to win either. I wanted the winless guys to go balls to the wall and fight. One moment I was cheering for Matty D, then Austin Dillion, then Ross Chastain etc. Mainly Matty D though. Lastly, i didnt stick around for any post race interviews. Why did Buscher get DQ'd?
I'm a wood bros fan and pull for whoever drives their car. My 2nd driver is blaney. The race he won at Pocono had some of the best late laps I've seen holding off bush and Harvick. He is also the 1st I remember seeing give flag to a young fan.
No more Pay wall somehow the 10 o’clock news supersedes NASCAR after race coverage should’ve been held on NBC . we don’t even know who won the regular season because it was not showing on NBC it was showing on NBCSN.
Funny how Kyle just had to add to the end of his interview and say "you never know if you'll come out of these races or not." Like really Kyle, really? You're gonna do this now?
This was a good race, but I feel like it being a cutoff race made most of it less eventful then it would have been had it not been. Also, really could notice the lack of speed. most guys running about 187 tops vs. the normal 200 mph+ it really kills ot for me. while other series some running 230+ NASCAR continues to dumb down the sport. I understand why but this is racing if the idea is to make it as safe as possible, its the big packs that make injuries more likely then blowovers.
Really loved this race. Even though they slowed them down a little, this packaged delivered some great racing all night. I’m a little disappointed by the finish though. I wanted an upset, not the same guy from last week.. Anyway, congrats to Blaney for the win, and congrats to Larson for getting the regular season title. On to the playoffs!
The finishing order alone should tell you everything you need to know about the races at Daytona. Out of the top ten on three are ever challenging week in and week out. The other seven with maybe the exception of a few are basically field fillers. So the fact they are even in the top ten shows Daytona is nothing but a crap shoot every time they race there. Smoke and his interpretation of Daytona and Talladega are spot on. Might as well line them all up in the infield and do a destruction derby. At least then it won't waste as much time and will probably cost less to repair at the end of the day.
I was there it was a good race. I thought it was going to be different with the new package but it was still good racing. Off to Darlington next weekend.
9:46 BJ MCLEOD?!!!! - He ran a very slow but surely race!!! WE ain't sleepin on a small team like Live Fast Racing and RWR where Bilicki level up from P11 to P10!!! Way to go for both of them!! :)
Very entertaining, exciting race. Ryan Blaney has become the New David Pearson of Nascar. Like Pearson, Blaney just hangs around for 80% of the race saving his car...then the last few laps there he is... Blaney should go to the #21 team...it fits him.

Had Kurt’s push not turned into a hook this was Suarez’s race to win. He had the momentum and think he could’ve cleared Harvick & Blaney, though that would’ve been close. So close there, but the push he was getting just didn’t work out for him.
It did work out for Bilicki & McLeod, though. Regardless of the wreck, happy to see them Top 10.
