Daytona Race Notes
Joey Logano who started on the pole led the opening lap.
On lap #2, Kyle Busch took the lead and led 1 lap.
On lap 3, Joey Logano took command of the lead working with his Ford teammates and he led the next 33 laps.
On lap 6, Fords were lined up running 1,2 and 3.

Denny Hamlin was deciding to fall back a little bit early because he didn’t like how Daniel Hemric was drafting.
Running order on lap 17: 22,4,2,19,18,1,12,21,9,48 … 41,8,3,11,88,13,96,17,38,37

On lap 34, Ford cars were the top 9 in the running order.
Running order on lap 36: 22,4,2,41,17,38,12,34,21,1 … 18,9,48,13,96,8,37,19,47,3
At the conclusion of lap 36, nearly all the Fords came to pit road.
On lap 37, nearly everyone else came to pit road.
On entrance to pit road on lap 37, Denny Hamlin had contact with a few cars and nearly spun out.
Aric Almirola had difficulty getting into his pit stall during his first stop. He was pointed directly towards his pit stall.
On lap 38 following the conclusion of the opening pit cycle, Kevin Harvick had the lead and he led the next 12 laps.
Running order on lap 39: 4,22,41,2,17,12,14,11,19,21 … 9,1,34,48,18,8,42,24,3,6
Running order on lap 45: 4,22,41,2,17,12,9,14,48,1 … 11,8,19,42,21,24
Running order on lap 48: 4,22,41,2,17,12,9,48,14,1 … 11,8,19,42,24,21,3,34,38,6
On the last lap of Stage #1, Joey Logano dove under Kevin Harvick and took the lead to win the first Stage.
Stage #1 Top Ten Finishers (Lap 50): 22,17,12,4,9,41,14,11,2,19
During the restart for Stage #2, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. took the lead and led 2 laps.
Notable Moment: On lap 58 while leading, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. spun after contact with Kurt Busch. This was the first caution of the race. His car had some slight damage and his hood was now buckled a little bit.
Running order on lap 63: 3,12,14,9,22,24,41,88,1,10 … 18,4,19,42,11,13
On lap 65, Austin Dillon solidly took the lead and then led the next 32 laps.
Running order on lap 73: 3,9,24,88,42,38,36,48,43,2 … 17,4,18,10,34,41,21,12,13,11
On lap 75, there was a mini-Chevy breakaway at the front of the pack composed of Austin Dillon, Chase Elliott, William Byron, Alex Bowman and Kyle Larson.
Big Moment: On lap 75, Kurt Busch spun and got into the wall. First he got into the wall, spun down the track and clipped Brendan Gaughan a little bit, and then got into the wall again. I would say it was minimal damage for all that happened to him. Brendan Gauhgan’s rear bumper was destroyed.
Running order on lap 81: 3,88,9,24,42,2,4,17,11,22 … 38,10,18,13,21,41,19,12,34,37
