Joey Logano is the newest Daytona 500 winner. Logano raced his way to victory today, winning the race under caution. Kevin Harvick finished second while Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished third.
Logano, Harvick, and Earnhardt Jr. were the three cars in best postion to win at the end of the race today. However, before Harvick or Earnhardt could make one final push, there was a wreck on the final lap. Logano had secured his victory.
At just 24 years old, Logano became one of the youngest drivers ever to win the Daytona 500. Ford cars were certainly not considered the strongest during the week, but it was a Ford that was sitting in Victory Lane today.
Next week NASCAR is headed to Atlanta Motor Speedway where Kasey Kahne is the defending champion.
