This was a good 500. Yeah the ending was… something. But I do have to say, it’s the first time I see actual strategy being in place for the Stage wins. The drivers actually behaved and those last 20 laps before the big one were absolutely nuts. Really liked this edition. If not for the ending, it would’ve been a 10/10. Solid 8.5/10 for me.

As a long time Jeff fan since at least 2000 when I was 4 born in 1996 you love to see it. As a life long Hendrick fan. You can't be happier. Holy shit. Holy shit!!!! They did it. The broadcast was great, the race was great. 24 in 24 let's go.

Congrats to Nascar for making the right call. I was sure that although the leaders crossed the white they were going to line them backup.

I might not be the only one that has this opinion but I’m just not a fan of the post race interview on the track, I think over the years Daytona Victory lane is so special and has had so many special moments from the victory lane interview, I’m totally fine any other race but it’s the Daytona 500, it just doesn’t feel the same with no interview in victory circle right after the win

As a Keselowski fan, “you reap what you sow.” I can’t be to mad with the finish as the wreck that took him out was very similar to the lap 6 wreck. Sucks but it is what is

As a Bowman fan this one is going to hurt. 😭😭😭

8 car was awesome today

24 in 24 😤🔥

So happy to see the 24 car winning 😊 I grew up a Hendricks fan especially Jeff Gordon

It was better than the amount of last year's commercials

This was my first ever NASCAR race in person and it was so worth it! I never thought I’d be the chance to go but the delay actually made it happen for me. Such an awesome experience

4:46 tbf, he did have help from a gibbs car (that being the 11 of denny hamlin) for a while as they worked together to get through the pack. They even went to pit road together. But, later on in the race, when denny got involved in a crash he was never able to get back to kb.

See, as someone who was at the track, I thought the first stage fuel saving was one of the most interesting parts of the race. Being there and being able to see Allmendinger visibily catching the pack on his own was fascinating to me. That's something you miss watching on TV because they aren't going to show the one car running by himself, they're going to show the pack.

Big Hendrick fan so very happy with the result. Texted my friends before the start my 3 picks were Byron, Chastain, and Bell, so pretty damn good picks... The issue is the car is so draggy but stable enough to the point cautions wont happen much and fuel depletes so quickly. So if you get rid of stages you have almost no cautions. If you shorten the stages the final stage is so long of nothing until the final 40 laps of balls to the wall racing. IMO this is the best format you can get with the way the car is.

We should implement "Race back to the line" again 😂😂😂

Get your points on the Fox commentary crew, the technical insight was good- but from a chemistry perspective they need a lot of settling in

Good race, not sure how i feel about the stages. The race and commentary seemed great. The massive wreck was wild, the final wreck probably hurt the ending. There was a moment where like 10 Chevy's pitted after the lead pack and got back on the track, and the lead pack before pit stops caught them on the back stretch but soem chevys had tremendous blocks and instead of all chevys getting blown by, they kinda fell into the pack. It was very cool, and no wreck came of it.

Commercial count: First caution lap 6 Lap 19-23 30-34 43-47 52-56 (side by side) End of stage Stage 2 Start:67 76-80 86-89 went to 90 about 5 seconds later 96-99 105-109 118-121 Stage 3 Start: 132 3 side by side couple lap commercials 147-149 156-158 side by side 171-174 Red flag with 8 to go to Not as bad as last year

My issue with the production is that they never showed replays or explained the ending and gave us video proof of when the caution came out and who was in the lead

I dont get what's bad about the finish Sure it was anticlimactic, but it was fair And wind the clock back to mid 2000s rules, Byron still would've won He was in first at the moment of yellow, and they woulda just run the final lap under yellow He won fair and square

Yeah Rowdy was just in the wrong place at the wring time for the push. Looked like elliot might have cut a tire or just slow and busch was stuck behind him coming to the white. Had no push.

I’m happy for Byron but I wish I could get that top 10

As much as i hated the ending, I was happy that there were only 3 natural cautions, 5 total with the stages. Definitely better than last years wreck fest.

Logano and bk was going to do a 2021 pt 2

why is there so many ads

That fuel strategy was huge. By sitting in the back they burned less fuel so when that last green flag stop came the Chevys could take 5-7 seconds of fuel less then everyone else which kept them in front of the big wreck. This package has come a long ways, mainly from drivers figuring it out but Nascar needs to make some tweaks so drivers dont have to rely on slam drafting to move forward which causes wrecks like the big one at the end

Everyone at FOX does a great job except for the director who is in charge of the camera shots. They have no understanding of what is going on. Camera operators do a good job but they aren’t used properly. Too many bumper cameras when crazy stuff is happening.

Bubba was right there once again, how about lajoie?! finishing 4th!

I was hoping for ross to win but it is what it is

I really like Byron but I cant stand Hendrick so its conflicting every time he wins

Well I'm glad someone said the Fox boardcast was good. Kevin Harvick really did good in the booth even though people hate on him. People said that Harvick sounded nervous but he said his heart was pounding for most of the race because he knows what the drivers go through. Pfft 😅

It’s the Byron’s year

No harvick or Almarola felt wrong in nascar gonna miss their driving for sure

I feel like Brad is still in the Penske mindset at plate races. Somehow they always find a way to wipe out, usually taking out a teammate or 2 lol. I'll give the race a 9/10. Definitely one of the better plate races recently, as they're not really my thing. Usually gets kind of boring but strategy and commentating really helped carry the entertainment til the end.

“We interrupt the commercial 500 to show you events going on down in Daytona Beach. We will resume our normal scheduled commercial broadcast shortly”Fox Sports, PR.

We need to make Daytona a figure 8. 180+ laps without a crash? That's just ridiculous. Tony Stewart would have been upset about the caution quota over this one.

Bowman had one of the best cars he ever had at Daytona

I was almost right my prediction was ross winning

The script 😂

Did you see Harrison Burtons motor catapult out of the car🤣

HOW ABOUT NOAH GRAGSON

I thought it was a great race honestly

My grandpa used call Brad “Krashalotski” lmao

Quintessential NASCAR: wreck the filed, serve no consequences, be awarded the “victory “ and celebrate. What a joke

William Byron revenge tour 24 in 24

That was a damn good race for sure! The ending was meh but oh well! I had a great time watching all of the races this weekend to wrap up my Birthday! That’s how you do it! Good stuff Radman! Here’s my Review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b759rKt2v9jXcoE.htmlsi=u32CAIYjg_ctwttq

we need to stop letting drivers get away with wrecking the field without repercussions. mistake or not, we should not be anticipating a massive crash, and if you cause one, you should be held accountable for all that equipment you just destroyed. these drivers are professionals, but they’re not being held accountable like a professional.

Suárez was legitimately a contender for the win....

22 was fast

From daytona 530 to daytona 498

because God didn't want me to watch the race at least I got millad to fill me in on what happened.

I watched the final 8 laps after the big one happened. I was cheering after the 24 won the Daytona 500

The year of the 24th is having a great time Willi B, thanks for bringing Victory Lane back to the Daytona 500

Nothing against Byron. However am I the only one that thought the first 470 miles were boring. However Xfinity cars are putting on a show so far.

Best 500 in long while

"Entering" a tony Stewart situation? It's almost been 20 years he's been in that situation! It's definitely not a recent thing. Unfortunate too because he's so good, but he'll probably never win it.

Hendrick finally ends the decade long drought of winning the Daytona 500. I like that Byron won but was devastated Bowman came that close.

🫡🤘

Daytona 500 Finish paid by Rick Hendrick

First

i thought it was great until the wendys ad that was just poorly timed lol

I wish Chastain would have went into the wall but other than that. A good race

The xfinity race was 10x better.

Upsetting way to end the race… especially as a Logano fan. No one’s fault, but Hendrick cars did cause the wreck and those two Hendrick cars ended up winning. Kind of seems undeserving.

Worst finish I have ever witnessed

Shame about your jacket

This is proof nascar fixes races
