Some Daytona Track Records & Stats

Double Yellow Line at Daytona = do not pass: In order to emphasize the yellow-line rule at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway where passes are not permitted, NASCAR has made the single yellow line into a double-yellow line. The second yellow line was painted on the inside of the existing yellow line.

Highlights of yesterday's Xfinity race at Daytona.
There was a wreck near the end which may have been caused by Ross Chastain trying to take the lead on the last laps, but AJ did try to block Chastain and that in itself may have been a move made too late and caused the wreck.
You decide :)
