Race Results: 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Daytona 500

Tyler Reddick dashed to the checkered flag for his first victory in the Daytona 500, leading only the final lap of "The Great American Race" for the win.

A late caution for an incident involving Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin set the stage for a shootout to conclude the 68th Annual Daytona 500. Several incidents unfolded on the last lap, including Carson Hocevar spinning from the lead and many of the front-runners crashing on the exit of turn four.

When the smoke cleared, it was Reddick and his No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota racing to the finish line first, ahead of Ricky Stenhouse's No. 47 as it bounced off the outside wall.

Unofficially, Joey Logano finished third, followed by Chase Elliott and Brad Keselowski.

The win marks the first in the Daytona 500 for both Reddick and 23XI Racing. Reddick is now a nine-time NASCAR Cup Series winner, snapping a drought dating back to October 2024 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

23XI Racing now holds wins in two crown jewel events on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar. Last season, Bubba Wallace won the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
