Busch wins his first Daytona race
Kyle Busch held off Kevin Harvick to win his first Daytona race and his first Busch race this season.
Harvick came from the back many times to run in second, but could never get any help to get by Busch. He has the chance on the last restart and I think if Blaney had gone with Harvick, they could have gotten by him, but Blaney didn't seem to want to help.
Harvick finished second, followed by Blaney, Stewart and Bowyer rounded out the top five. Leffler was the highest finisher of the Busch regulars, coming in ninth.
The big one never happened thanks to spotters being on their toes, not that the opportunity wasn't there for the big one, it was just able to be avoided, hopefully the same thing will happen in the Cup race tonight.

Congrats to Baby Busch for the win and yes he got lucky that Blaney sat back waiting for Harvick pull out and make a move on Busch so he could move up to second. Seems Toyota isn't going to win anything with a driver like Blaney.

This was a comparatively uncompetitive affair. Kyle Busch was home free in the lead because everyone else behind him was for the most part so tight they couldn't get enough run to pass.
They need to repave Daytona, and do so now, because the surface has become unraceable - no grip, not enough secure footing for the cars to race; all they were doing today was trying to hold what they had.
