Clint Bowyer held a late lead and fended off charges from drafting partner Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kyle Busch, and Joey Logano — but it was Tony Stewart who made the move at the right moment to win today's DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway.
A last lap run by Logano failed when he got loose in a turn and hit a wall, opening the door for Stewart and his drafting partner Landon Cassill to make a run at the Bowyer-Earnhardt team. And in the final turn, Stewart nudged just ahead of Bowyer, taking the checkered flag with no more than inches to spare.
A red flag with nine laps to go gave Bowyer and Earnhardt Jr. the lead in what became a sprint to the finish.
Danica Patrick, making her first NASCAR Nationwide Series start of the year, finished 14th, one lap behind the leaders.
Full results from the DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway are as follows:
