NASCAR O'Reilly Series

One moment Elliott Sadler thought he was going to win the race and the next he was wondering how he made it to the finish line.

Mike Wallace and the No. 01 G&K Services Chevrolet team of JD Motorsports was saddled with an undeserved 28th-place run in the NASCAR Nationwide Series opener at Daytona International Speedway.

Richard Childress Racing teammates finished third (Elliott Sadler), fifth (Austin Dillon) and eighth (Tony Stewart). Sadler leads the Nationwide Series championship point standings by two points over Cole Whitt, with RCR teammate Dillon sitting third in the standings.

Ryan Truex started 18th in his superspeedway debut at Daytona International Speedway. As a rookie, he struggled finding a partner in the DRIVE4COPD 300 and prepared to make a final run at a top-10 finish when a 19-car incident ended Tommy Baldwin Racing’s (TBR) NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) debut early. The No. 36 Grime Boss Chevrolet finished in the 31st position.

Going into the final corner, it looked as if Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, or Joey Logano would find themselves in victory lane.

After a wreck on the final lap, James Buescher would be crowned the winner of the DRIVE4COPD 300.

Running in 11th place entering Turn 4 on the final lap, James Buescher was able to maneuver through a multi-car accident and come away with his first NASCAR Nationwide Series win in a green-white-checkered finish in the 54th annual DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway.

BRAD KESELOWSKI (No. 22 Discount Tire Dodge Challenger R/T) Finished 2nd YOU ALMOST HAD THE WIN. “Almost, just got a little contact there in the door getting through that wreck."
