Five of the last six #nascar #daytona500 winners have led 10 laps or less.

Two of them @23xi.bsky.social ‘s Tyler Reddick today and Michael McDowell in 2021 - led only one lap.

The last one. The only one that matters.

Reddick and Michael Jordan are now 500 winners.

First big wreck of the #nascar #daytona500

frontstretch.com/2026/02/15/1...

17 cars involved. Notables behind the wall: Alex Bowman, Justin Allgaier. Joey Logano also has heavy damage.

Three years ago, what would you have said if I told you Shane Van Gisbergen was leading around the halfway point of the 2026 #daytona500?

Pretty crazy. And pretty wide open race so far. 10 of the top 11 drivers right now have led at least one lap. #nascar

Some unexpected contenders so far in the #Daytona500 . Zane Smith wins stage one after stretching his fuel tank nearly 60 laps as most everyone else pitted.

Top 10 cars never made a green-flag stop: 38-2-12-77-17. 7-60-71-48-4.

5 Fords and 5 Chevys. #NASCAR

First car out of the #daytona500: BJ McLeod. Heavy damage to the No. 78 after a blown right-rear tire caused a spin.

Has yet to finish on the lead lap in any of his six 500 starts. #nascar
