I watched it live yesterday on Fox 35, that race seemed to take forever. Two days, and then a couple of overtime finishes. It reminded me of 2001 when Dale Earnhardt was killed, the winner was celebrating and Earnhardt was killed on the last lap but the broadcast ended quickly without any announcements.

Ryan Blaney bumps Ryan Newman, who was leading causing him to flip, but Blaney didn't win, Denny Hamlin slipped by for the win which was his third Daytona win in the last five years. I'm sure he made Fedex happy as their sponsor and Toyota as well, and I just read that Hamlin made $14 million last year, so racing pays well.
