DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has won the 65th Daytona 500, making his way to the lead in double overtime and then emerging ahead of Joey Logano at the moment of caution on the final lap to earn the biggest win of his NASCAR Cup Series career. Stenhouse’s win is the third of his Cup career and ends a winless streak that had lasted over five years.

After a spin by Daniel Suarez coming to two laps to go set up the first overtime, Stenhouse came into the picture when he pushed Logano to the lead from the outside lane, then made a daring move to the inside for the top spot as contact between Austin Dillon and William Byron triggered a 13-car crash in Turn 3. Stenhouse and Logano then hooked up again for double overtime, but Stenhouse appeared to be a sitting duck as both Logano and Stenhouse made their moves at the white flag.

After a failed move to the outside of Stenhouse put him in the middle, Larson slid back and triggered a multi-car crash in Turns 1 and 2 as Stenhouse and Logano ran side-by-side. The field was frozen at the moment of caution per NASCAR rules, and Stenhouse was just ahead of Logano to win the Daytona 500 for single-car JTG Daugherty Racing.
