The NASCAR Cup Series arrived at Daytona International Speedway, and the drama couldn’t have been higher. Josh Berry won Stage 1, while Joey Logano won Stage 2; however, neither won the event. After a drama-filled Final Stage featuring many wrecks and flips, the biggest underdog story among full-time drivers found a way to victory lane.
