DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Who in the world is Austin Cindric?
As the 2022 Daytona 500 ground its way to the checkered flag, finally ending a 3½ hour enduro race that put a dozen cars behind the wall and saw 25 of the 40 cars in the field caught up in accidents (that's just per the official box score, pretty much every car ended the night with damage), the American auto race that draws more eyeballs than any other had a lot of people screaming at their TVs for the names they knew.
Bubba Wallace, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott, even defending race champion Michael McDowell, plenty of recognizable racers were in the mix for the victory.
