We talk about GOATs, does Lebron have a Daytona 500?
C
Roush Fenway does have Daytona 500 wins, granted the last one was well before Lebron invested in the group

On his birthday

Dammit even year
P
Please no more even year Logano
S
So after all the lawsuits the first winner is Michael Jordan’s car 😂😂😂 fucking karma
S
That last lap was wild lmao
T
I’m not a regular watcher, so please educate me here. Why wasn’t there a yellow after the first crash? I though racing to the flag ended 20 years ago?
L
They’re gonna let them race to the flag more this year, especially after how last season ended.
G
Was the crash on the last lap? The field would have crossed the finish line and slowed down before coming back around to the accident scene.
S
They would’ve gone to a Green-White-Checkered finish
D
If they take the white flag the next flag ends the race. No GWC once they’re on the last lap.
S
It was ultimately in the race director’s discretion on when they throw the yellow. Being the last lap of the biggest race of the year, I guess they were trying to not be trigger happy on pressing the button and had a look at each of those crashes as they happen whether they were worth throwing the caution out.
I
Because the crash drifted off the track and into the runoff area, as well as NASCAR tends to be lenient towards throwing cautions in superspeedway races
C
NASCAR tries not to throw a yellow on the last lap unless either a car is stopped on the racing line or a car is severely damaged to the point where there are concerns about the driver’s safety. Everybody who crashed ended up in the grass, so they kept if green. This has been a new directive from NASCAR to try to keep races green for as long as possible
D
I’m also not a regular Nascar watcher but my guess would be, the fact that it’s the last lap and the cars are all in a single pack anyway. By the time they all go back around to the site of the incident again the race will be over so they can wait until they cross the line to throw the caution
D
Last lap, race would have been over and the cars slowing down before they came back around to the site of the crash.
M
If they make the white flag the last lap counts. If the crash had happened with 2 to go, they would’ve had overtime
C
They’re not super likely to throw a caution on the last lap for use kind of incident.
W
Hocevar my misunderstood king 😭
Y
Hell of a move by Reddick at the end.
N
I’m so glad they didn’t throw a yellow after the first wreck on the final lap. That was an amazing finish!
D
He absolutely nailed that last lap. Race was ok, final stage killed it for me to be honest with the three lane roadblock but I’m glad that we at least we’ve got a likeable and deserving winner. Not a fan of Toyota’s tactics today as a whole but can’t begrudge Reddick in the slightest, especially considering the year he’s had personally.
T
Race was pretty bad except the last few laps. NASCAR has got to get rid of the stupid mandatory breaks. No one likes them.
B
I completely agree with you, but unfortunately the advertisers and broadcasters like them (gives guaranteed full screen ads), so stages with cautions are unlikely to go away
T
Yeah, NASCAR is addicted to the long ass format which sucks for viewers.
S
Advertisers do so they’ll stay unfortunately
T
CHUMBA Casino coming into the sport has really paid off for them. Within a year they won the Brickyard 400 and the Daytona 500.
T
Insane finish. I’m a Hamlin fan, so I default rooting for the 23XI guys
F
I default to rooting for Bubba, because the worst people imaginable all really hate him.
T
Man bubba did really well to check up on the last lap there, ran a really good clean race leading 40 laps at Daytona ain’t no joke
T
Oh. I get it. Big reason I root for him too
F
It was Carsons. It was all Carsons. I am destraught
A
I’m a Chase fan 😭
F
I feel for chase, but Reddick had him beat to the line anyway. Carson got MUGGED
V
Crazy last lap as usual! Chase, Christopher and Carson were pretty unlucky there
F
I was preparing for Hocevar to win it and for everyone to go ballistic.
N
Hocevar got screwed big time
A
yeah same lol had the prime position for the last lap, but the crash was very expected tbf
M
Bubba Wallace, too. Byron getting back on the track cost Bubba a bunch of places.
C
Logano getting in front of Bubba killed his momentum. 22s car was like a giant slow wall because of the damage.
B
Basically those who survived the big wrecked on the final lap. Nascar even let them race it back after the first wreck on the final lap
B
Sponsored by Chumba Casino. I used that site once. I got way down, but I got up again.
B
Absolutely incredible move by Reddick to win that, during a completely bonkers last lap. Only led 1 lap all day, and it was the one that mattered
M
Erik Jones can go fuck himself
G
Gutted for Hocevar. So unlucky and he played those green flag pitstops so well to get up to the leaders.
L
Last lap was so crazy! Glad to see a 23XI win!
