Last year: Daniel Suarez edged Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch in a three-wide finish. There were 10 cautions and an Atlanta-record 47 lead changes, alongside a pileup of at least 16 cars, the biggest in the history of Atlanta Motor Speedway. Last race: William Byron captured his second Daytona 500 win while narrowly avoiding a final-lap crash.

William Byron's post-Daytona 500 celebration included a late night at Waffle House, a visit to "Monday Night Raw" and a trip to New York.

A multi-car collision during the final lap of overtime allowed Byron to come from ninth to win the 67th edition of the Daytona 500
