Fantasy NASCAR Asterisk Mark Report – Daytona 500 (2024)

Joey Logano – In the Daytona 500, Joey Logano subjectively had the best car, but he finished an asterisk mark 32nd after getting caught up in the lap 191 “Big One.” On lap 190 just prior to his demise, Logano was in 2nd. Prior to the final green flag pit cycle, Logano was the leader and had control of the race. In the race, Logano started on the pole, led the most laps (45), had the best average running position (9.7) and earned the 2nd best Driver Rating.

Ryan Blaney – Ryan Blaney had a rocket in the Daytona 500 but finished an asterisk mark 30th. In the race, Blaney won Stage #2, led 12 laps and was running in 6th on lap 190 but then on lap 191 he was caught up in the “Big One.” If Blaney’s race would’ve been incident free, there’s no doubt he would’ve been a factor right at the very end.

Brad Keselowski – Brad Keselowski was one of the best in the Daytona 500 but he finished an asterisk mark 33rd. On lap 191 while running in 2nd, Keselowski was turned by Byron and wrecked which caused the “Big One.” He could’ve very well won if he wasn’t wrecked.

Ross Chastain – In the Daytona 500, Ross Chastain was a factor late and had control of the race following the final green flag pit cycle until the “Big One” ensued in which he lost the lead during the following restart. Then on the last lap, Ross Chastain wrecked Austin Cindric who was running in 2nd and took himself out in the process, which led to his 21st. In the race, Chastain led 14 laps late.
