A Saturday night cruise-along suddenly turned into a demolition derby at Daytona International Speedway.

David Ragan found redemption at historic Daytona International Speedway Saturday night picking up his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win in a thrilling green-white-checkered finish in the 53rd annual Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca-Cola.

McReynolds on how unpredictable the Coke Zero 400 is: “Every race, fans ask me, ‘who do you like?’ I promise you, there is no way to predict the winner of this race. Honestly, all 43 drivers that take the green flag can pull into victory lane.”

KURT BUSCH (No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge Charger R/T) Finished 14th "Incredible. Our Shell/Pennzoil Dodge was fast tonight. It's a different style racing out there and your approach to how you attack the race is so much different."
