Byron gives Hendrick Motorsports their first Daytona 500 win in 10 years.

Monday, February 19, 2024 - 8:23pm

A two-wide battle through the closing laps of the 2024 Daytona 500 eventually saw William Byron take the checkered flag under caution to win the 66th Daytona 500 Monday evening.

The caution came out just as Byron took the white flag as Ross Chastain and 2022 Daytona 500 champion Austin Cindric spun through the frontstretch grass. The race was deemed official as the white flag came out before the yellow was thrown.

Alex Bowman finished runner-up. Christopher Bell, Corey LaJoie and Bubba Wallace rounded out the top five. AJ Allmendinger, John Hunter Nemechek, Chase Briscoe, Erik Jones and Noah Gragson completed the top 10.
