NASCAR Cup Series

After nearly a four-hour rain delay at Daytona International Speedway, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series took the green flag for the Coke Zero 400 at 11:42 p.m. Eastern Time. The starting order for the 160-lap event was set by first practice speeds in lieu of the NASCAR rule book after qualifying was rained out on Friday afternoon.

On the final green-white-checkered flag attempt of Sunday night’s Coke Zero 400, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. lined up in the 17th position but as cars tangled at the front of the field coming to the checkered Stenhouse settled with a 19th-place finish.

Trevor Bayne, driver of the No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Fusion, ran inside the top three for much of the closing stages of the rain-delayed NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) event at Daytona International Speedway, ultimately earning a hard-fought ninth-place finish.

AUSTIN DILLON, NO. 3 BASS PRO SHOPS CHEVROLET SS – Involved in severe multi-car accident on final lap. Finished 7th: I DON’T THINK I HAVE SEEN MORE HAPPY PEOPLE AFTER A CRASH, HOW ARE YOU? “I am just going to be really sore."

Denny Hamlin was the top-finishing Toyota driver with a third-place result in Sunday’s rain-delayed NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Daytona International Speedway, marking his fourth consecutive top-six finish at the World Center of Racing.

TREVOR BAYNE, No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Fusion (Finished 9th) – “I am good to go. It stinks to tear a race car up at the checkers but that is the first time I have gone to the infield care center and not been broken hearted from a bad run. We finished 9th I guess or wherever they line us up at after they look at all of it.

KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 COCA-COLA CHEVROLET SS – Involved in a multi-car accident on lap 105 WHAT HAPPENED FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE?

Qualifying for Sunday night’s Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca Cola was rained out Saturday, giving the pole position to Dale Earnhardt Jr., based on his chart-topping, 200 mph-plus practice speed.

Qualifying for the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway was canceled due to inclement weather at the track. The No. 21 Motorcraft Quick Lane Ford Fusion (Ryan Blaney) and the No. 95 KLOVE Radio Ford Fusion (Michael McDowell) did not qualify for the race due to the cancellation. The field is set for Sunday night based on speed in practice one.
