Austin Dillon overcame the odds to make the NASCAR Cup playoffs in a Daytona race that featured a three-hour delay and multiple incidents 🏁 Full report, results and the final list of 2022 playoff contenders ⬇️
In a wild final stage, in which two multi-car crashes had already propagated, the final big incident resulting after rain had started to fall put Dillon into the lead.
Dillon – whose only hope to make the playoffs was to win the regular season finale – restarted following the extensive delay in the lead on lap 145 but quickly lost it to Cindric. “I had a big run to him and I knew I had a team-mate back there and we were in pretty good shape. Gave a little too much push there, got him loose and we went going.”
The first of the Stage 3 crashes came just after the restart, as the field turned on the backstretch and Reddick got into McDowell to trigger a multi-car accident that also collected Martin Truex Jr, William Byron, Ross Chastain, Chris Buescher and Corey LaJoie.
