See the wild final lap of the Daytona 500 that included a fiery wreck and a Michael McDowell win

What an ending.

You probably wouldn’t have picked Michael McDowell to win the 2021 Daytona 500 after he didn’t claim victory in any of his 357 NASCAR Cup Series starts.

But there he was in the pack racing for the checkered flag, near the front, when Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano — teammates with Team Penske — were involved in a wreck that brought out the caution flag, as Keselowski tried to pass him.

And it was McDowell who was right there, avoiding the crash and pushing ahead, giving the longtime vet the win.

Here are a few videos from that last lap, starting with what it looked like in real time:
