Majority of NASCAR Field Wrecks at Daytona, Race Red Flagged Due to Rain

As rain began to fall at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona on Sunday, a crash at the head of the race on lap 138 led to a pileup and red flag with just 21 laps to go. When everything was sorted, Auston Dillon came out ahead in first place, and it is unclear if and when the race will resume due to weather.

Many drivers were not happy that the race wasn’t halted before the rain became a significant factor.

“They had about a whole lap to call caution and tore up a lot of race cars,” Justin Haley, who was at the front of the pileup and in the lead, said.
