JTG is the first single-car team to win the Daytona 500 since The Wood Brothers Racing did it with Trevor Bayne in 2011. Now the 35-year-old from Olive Branch, Mississippi, has a repeat win at Daytona in NASCAR‘s biggest race of the season. Action sports star Travis Pastrana finished 11th in his Daytona 500 debut, and Kevin Harvick was 12th in his final Daytona 500. Kyle Busch dropped to 0 for 18 in the Daytona 500, but contended for his new Richard Childress Racing team. “Back in 1998, that would be the win, boys,” Busch radioed his team in deliberate reference to how the late Dale Earnhardt won his only Daytona 500.
