Dale Jr's Facebook page updated his status seven minutes ago to announce the win, and it already has over 76k likes.

Landon Cassill finished 10th it looks like. Like everyone anticipated.

 

[Gerarghini]

Nice runs by Hamlin and Stenhouse though, too bad Sorenson almost had that top 10.

 

[ND4SPD]

Hugs for everyone!

So no free eating for the kids, yet again.

 

[Northstar]

Oddly enough a Gibbs car finished second to Jr. in 2004 as well.

 

[MustangRyan]

Unless Junior had two cars out there, Denny's interview was recorded and replayed.

 

[Gerarghini]

Who finished third, Gordon or Keselowski?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Brad finished 3rd? Pretty sure it was clear that Jeff was in 3rd...

Edit: Tree'd

So, Dale is in the Chase...

Can someone explain the new rules to me cause I skimmed them and then tried to read them again but obviously missed a bit.

Pretty much if you win you are in.

If you win a race and are in the top 30 in points or attempt to qualify for all races, you're in the Chase. Seeding remains the same.

ALL RIGHT JEWWWNYEEEEEER!!!

 

[Northstar]

TWO-TIME!!!!!

Sorry, had to do it.

 

[MustangRyan]

Wow, Hamlin drove the last 150+ laps without a spotter (because his in-car radio failed).

At Daytona.

And finished 2nd.

Unreal!

 

[Jahgee]

Fox interviewing the drivers people care about now

 

[The Bman]

Why does it say that Keselowski finished 3rd?

 

[Patrick]

I hope they race under the lights more often.

Why does it say that Keselowski finished 3rd?

Yellow came out before finish line.

It goes by where he was when the caution flew.

I don't understand the reason to throw a caution flag when they are racing to the checker. Especially when the wreck was in the last corner. Let them race to the line.

 

[Jahgee]

FS1 says Gordon got 3rd

 

[Its Vanilla]

They have Gordon in 3rd on Fox Sports Live on FS1.

Edit: NUTS!!!

The video clearly showed that Brad never passed him.

They don't want the 22nd place driver trying to drive wide-open through the wreck that started with the 9th place driver.

Safety first.

Only the Victory Lane interviews are live.

It's NASCAR, which would mean there is something wrong if you do understand their reasoning.

 

[RACECAR]

Very confused. Why was last year's race finished without a caution with a wreck that took place in 1&2, but this year it finishes under caution with a wreck in 3&4?

TWO-TIME!!!!!

Sorry, had to do it.

Careful, you'll summon the troll from his absence.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Clearly the spotter would say, hey there's a wreck in front of you if you are blind and can't see it, might want to slow down. And they've done it in the past.
