DAYTONA 500 : RACE
MOTORSPORTS
The first race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series schedule didn't disappoint.
The 2021 Busch Clash at Daytona featured several spin-outs, cautions and
a final-lap pass as Kyle Busch stole a win, giving Joe Gibbs Racing its
10th all-time victory in the event. The fact the Clash is a non-points
event didn't stop racers from trying some truly inspired racing.
This video will start in
0:27
That's even true for Kyle Busch, who didn't lead a single of the 35 laps
... until the final few hundred feet. He can thank a spin-out between
friends Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney for the last-second win.
Just ... WOW. Chase Elliott sends Ryan Blaney around and Rowdy is there!

8:44 p.m.: Elliott nearly takes a turn too wide in the bus stop but
manages to distance himself. They're back onto the oval, and he has a

8:43 p.m.: There's the white flag with Blaney in the lead and Elliott in
hot pursuit.
8:42 p.m.: Blaney with some aggressive driving on Turn 5 and he takes
the lead over from Elliott with just two laps to go.

Elliott in the lead by over a second.
8:35 p.m.: They're knocking out two laps under caution, leaving five
laps remaining coming out of the caution. Chase Elliott, Kurt Busch and
Logano are in the top three positions coming out of the restart.
8:31 p.m.: Fourteen cars are pitting under caution heading into the last
laps.
8:29 p.m.: That's the fourth caution by the way. Seven laps remaining.
8:26 p.m.: Incredible. Truex spins into the wall coming out of the
backstretch chicane. There's a lot of dirt and mud down there. His night
is done; just wasn't meant to be.

8:22 p.: And there's Truex moving into second place with just nine laps

8:19 p.m.: No issues on Turn 1 out of the restart — drivers taking note
from the previous two mishaps by Blaney and Kurt Busch.
8:17 p.m.: Hamlin, Kyle Busch and Austin Dillon start in the top three
positions in the restart. Byron, meanwhile, starting in the back at 20;
Custer's night is done.
8:13 p.m.: Now Byron, in 18th place at the restart, is driving without a
rear driver-side tire. Doing a lot of damage to his frame. Something
must have happened to cause him to lose air in it during the caution pit
stop.
That'll be another lap under the caution flag while he gets back into
the pit.
8:07 p.m.: And there's the third caution of the night, on Lap 22. Now
there's smoke and flames coming from his car. That's probably his night.

8:06 p.m.: Cole Custer, in seventh place, is the next racer to miss the
chicane. He had time to restart, but his car isn't moving. Might be a
caution.
8:05 p.m.: Hamlin has lead 12 of 20 laps in the Clash.
8:02 p.m.: Hamlin, Blaney and Logano in the top three positions,
respectively, heading back onto the oval.
8 p.m.: And another issue on Turn 1! Kurt Busch was the leader on the
restart and took it too fast. There was no correcting for him. He had to
drive back around and is now squarely in last place.
... Another one ... pic.twitter.com/DZy4MTHSqV

8 p.m.: Reddick's car stalls coming out of the pit stop in the caution.
He'll start the race in 19th place.
7:55 p.m.: Truex on the call to his crew chief said he was looking for
the pace car and just missed the chicane.

chicane under caution. He will have to restart at the rear.
Alex Bowman never served his pass through from his speeding penalty.

7:47 p.m.: Truex is now in the lead after overtaking Hamlin on the oval
on Lap 14.
7:41 p.m.: And disaster for Blaney! He was leading heading into Turn 1
off the green flag but had too much speed heading into Turn 1, forcing
him to overcorrect and collide with Martin Truex Jr. Disastrous blunder.
Now Kyle Reddick is in the lead, with Blaney falling to 14th.

7:39 p.m.: Scratch the previous entry on Logano; he's moved to the rear
coming out of the caution for having too many crew members over the wall.
7:35 p.m.: The majority of racers are taking their pit stop with the
caution, including Hamlin. Because this isn't an event caution, no fuel
can be added.
7:34 p.m.: There's a caution in effect; crews are sweeping at the bus
stop, where plenty of dirt has been kicked up by racers.

overheating issues. Kurt Busch is coming in for service as well.
7:27 p.m.: Oh, now Matt DiBenedetto has missed the front chicane turn.
He's served with a stop and go penalty, forcing him to pit on Lap 6. Not
ideal.
7:25 p.m.: Hamlin, meanwhile, has led every lap thus far (five through).
He has over a second lead over Blaney in second place.
7:20 p.m.: And now Kevin Harvick is in the grass exiting the bus stop on
Lap 3. No caution. He's in last place heading into Lap 4.
