Kyle Busch edged Carl Edwards to win the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway Saturday, after a crash on the last lap froze the field, giving him his sixth victory of the season. Matt Kenseth was third, followed by Kurt Busch and David Ragan.
It was a wild and crazy night at Daytona, but one that ended as so many have this season: with Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in victory lane.
Pole-sitter Paul Menard took the lead at the start in his Dale Earnhardt Inc. Chevrolet as the top 15 or so cars immediately strung out in single-file order. After 10 laps, he led Dale Earnhardt Jr., David Ragan, Mark Martin and Kyle Busch.
The first caution came out on Lap 21, after AJ Almandine cut a tire and hit the frontstretch wall. Earnhardt took the lead for the first time just moments before the caution came out.
The next time around the lead-lap cars all pitted. Busch won the race off pit road, ahead of Menard, Robby Gordon, Regan Smith and Dave Blamey, as Earnhardt fell to 15th after he had a bad pit stop.
The track went green on Lap 25, with points-leader Busch ahead as the field again got strung out single-file. At the Lap-30 mark, Busch led Blamey, Menard, Ragan and Earnhardt.
On Lap 37, Earnhardt made the second green-flag lead pass of the race, dropping Busch to second ahead of Blamey, Stewart and Martin. Three laps later, at the one-quarter distance of the race, Earnhardt and Busch led Stewart, Martin, Brian Vickers, Kasey Kahn, Blamey, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and Travis Vail.
On Lap 44, Daytona 500 winner Ryan Newman brought out the second caution of the race after defending race winner Jamie McMurray tapped him at the exit of Turn 2, sending the Penske Racing Dodge spinning on the backstretch, though it made no contact.
The lead-lap cars pitted under the Lap 45 yellow flag, with Busch winning the race off pit road ahead of Earnhardt, Stewart, Martin and Jeff Gordon. Pole-sitter Menard, meanwhile was involved in contact on pit road and he fell to 41st after his DEI repaired his right-rear quarter panel.
The green came out on Lap 48, and six laps later, at the one-third distance, the top five remained unchanged, with Kenseth sixth, then Vail, David Gilliland, Johnson and Jeff Burton.
On Lap 55, Earnhardt re-took the lead for the third time in the race, pulling Martin with him to second and Gordon to third, as Busch fell to seventh.
