[12] The standard track at Daytona International Speedway is a four-turn superspeedway that is 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long.

Denny Hamlin was the fastest in the first practice session with a time of 45.575 seconds and a speed of 197.477 mph (317.808 km/h).

Kyle Larson won the race off of pit road and he led the field to the restart on lap 71.

During that pair of pitstops, Josh Berry got turned into his pit box by John Hunter Nemechek.

Fortunately, the wheel did not fall off and Busch was able to make it back to pit road to get it secured.

Austin Cindric won the race off of pit road and he led the field to the restart on lap 137.

Both Tyler Reddick and Chris Buescher attempted to take the lead from Allmendinger on the same lap but failed to get in front of him.

With 39 to go, Busch went to get in line behind Corey LaJoie off of turn 2 but smacked the wall in the process but did not lose a lot of momentum.

Toyota teams primarily pitted on Lap 178, but Denny Hamlin was unable to make the commitment.

On Lap 179, Hamlin, Justin Haley, and Kyle Busch pitted (three different manufacturers) as a trio.

Ford teams pitted on Lap 181, including Logano's, which gave the lead to Ross Chastain's Chevrolet.

Chastain led a group of Chevrolet teams in the final pit stop on Lap 182, and with a stronger pack, maintained the lead.

The wreck collected 23 cars and involved Austin Cindric, Kyle Larson, Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott, Noah Gragson, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, Chase Briscoe, Chris Buescher, Martin Truex Jr., Christopher Bell, Joey Logano, William Byron, Daniel Hemric, Todd Gilliland, Ryan Preece, Erik Jones, Tyler Reddick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Alex Bowman, Ty Gibbs, Anthony Alfredo, and Daniel Suárez.

Chastain turns down in front of Austin Cindric, with both spinning through the tri-oval while the track was still under green, with NASCAR hoping both cars will straighten up and let the race finish.

Cindric slides up and NASCAR presses the button to signal the fifth caution period, which ends the race.

Two minutes later, NASCAR declared William Byron the winner and Bowman finished in second.

Christopher Bell, Corey LaJoie, and Bubba Wallace rounded out the top 5 while A. J. Allmendinger, John Hunter Nemechek, Erik Jones, Noah Gragson, and Chase Briscoe rounded out the top 10.

The booth crew consisted of longtime NASCAR lap-by-lap announcer Mike Joy, Clint Bowyer, and 2007 Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick.

Jamie Little, Regan Smith, and Josh Sims handled pit road for the television side.

1992 and 1998 Daytona 500 winning crew chief Larry McReynolds provided insight on-site during the race.

The booth crew consisted of Alex Hayden, Jeff Striegle, and 1989 Cup Series champion Rusty Wallace.

A special guest, Doug Rice, was also briefly part of the broadcast booth to commemorate his final year working for the Performance Racing Network, and call play-by-play for a few laps.

On pit road, MRN was operated by Steve Post, Kim Coon, Brienne Pedigo and Jason Toy.
