NASCAR 2024: Points table after the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway

It was a memorable day and a perfect start to the 76th anniversary of the NASCAR Cup Series. The results of the 2024 Daytona 500 came down to a late-race incident once again as Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron took the white flag when Ross Chastain and Austin Cindric crashed on the final lap at Daytona International Speedway to win his first-ever Daytona 500.

Byron gave team owner Rick Hendrick his first Daytona 500 since 2014. The win also marked the ninth victory in the Daytona 500, equaling the most wins record with Petty Enterprises.

Meanwhile, Alex Bowman finished second, followed by Christopher Bell, Corey LaJoie, Bubba Wallace, AJ Allmendinger, John Hunter Nemechek, Erik Jones, Noah Gragson, and Chase Briscoe completed the top 10.
