Michael McDowell scores upset victory in Daytona 500 after fiery crash ends race under caution

Michael McDowell is a Daytona 500 winner.

McDowell won the rain-delayed 2021 Daytona 500 after he bumped Brad Keselowski into Joey Logano as Keselowski went to make a potential race-winning move on his Team Penske teammate.

As Keselowski and Logano collected a bunch of cars behind them, McDowell was ahead of Chase Elliott when NASCAR called a caution for the fiery wreck. The win is his first in the Cup Series and the first Daytona 500 win for Front Row Motorsports.

Take a look at the accident that brought out the caution flag at the end of the #DAYTONA500.
