In the two-lap dash to the checkered flag, Harrison Burton had to pass one of the best drivers in all of NASCAR to earn a shock victory at Daytona.
Kyle Busch was in control of the race as the white flag flew, but as space grew between him and pusher Christopher Bell, an opportunity arose for the outside lane. In the most unlikely of combinations, Parker Retzlaff, making just his second-ever NASCAR Cup Series start, pushed Burton ahead of the 2x NASCAR Cup Series champion. Burton threw some blocks and kept the car pointed straight as he beat the veteran driver to the finish line. Busch crossed the line just 0.
'I haven't seen any of it. Just from what I recall, we got off of , somehow the bottom lane got discombobulated, broke all of our momentum. The top lane just rolled. Once they got in front, with as little as energy as there was with the lack of cars that there were, it was hard to make anything happen from turn four to start/finish. Besides just flat-out wrecking him, there was nothing else I could do.' Busch remains winless through the first 25 races of the season.
