NASCAR Cup Series: Daytona 500 2019 | EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS | Motorsports on NBC

Please welcome our great quarterback, three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Houston Texans defensive end JJ Watt. Drivers start their engines 1,600 feet from the starting line as Dale Earnhardt Jr. The two-time winner, the 500, is going to make that sharp left turn and Mike, when I look at a hundred thousand people standing in anticipation of the start of this race, green flags in the air, book any book, any book, let's wait for don't do it. You know guys, 46 to 48 laps, this first stage would be exactly the same length as the duel race, 60 laps, so pit and now you can get to the end of stage number one.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him in the next few laps. some drivers come to pit road, here come Larry, a lot of those fast Fords come to pit road. Regan well Kevin Harvick sees the first 40th pit stop on Rodney Childress says he likes that stop it will be gas just for Kevin Harvick Ricky Stenhouse jr. arrives at his pit stop they wanted to pit a couple of laps ago but he couldn't get in at the bottom Matt Joey Logano gets in his box they're just going to fill him up with fuel the gas man chris conklin hooked up ty Gordon says you're Kyle Larson was one driver I saw that used tires, but most of them were Gastons and he was the only Chevrolet that pitted with all those Fords.

I have to say, did you notice anything about the group that came in even though Denny Hamlin missed a corner? by just saved him there I don't know if he was trying to get to the pits possibly here's a shot oh I see Denny Hamlin's three in the middle oops so close I think here's a Blaine he has to worry about himself He'd like to help Keselowski, but he just can't do it, it could put him in danger of winning his stage, so I think he's going to pocket what he has. William Byron fired his right there.

Blaney did a great job, he got lucky in the top bot lane. The Ryan Blaney side takes them to the green and white checkered flag and wins the second stage in his Penske Ford Mike, you help when you can't help your teammates, but when it means you're going to get hurt, you only have to worry about yourself, you want to get unstuck. early if you come and some of them are quite a few they did, but not our car leo spins in testing sliding out of control BJ McCloud brings out the yellow flag that Stenhouse has ruined on pit road with Tyler Redick, another car is stopped lying on the grass and we are under yellow flag, that's number 52, it's Cody Webb, big red, he has Jimmie Johnson's left rear tire, then Jimmy was able to get into his pit stall.

I did it, it's one of the hardest things to do in the world. You race at 200 miles per hour and try to make it to pit road in green conditions. You can see Stenhouse too close to the pit wall. I don't know, they won't even be able to lift the left side of that car. Tyler Redick. from the I ask if the club was trying to go out of business and I think Cody had no idea he was coming to the pits and you're right, Jimmy Johnson got picked up because three Daytona 500 rookie drivers piled up here again, Cody, us.

They're right on the rear bumper of the '51. I'm on it and he just went in the back and turned them into that group that took the entire left rear quarter panel off Jimmy Johnson's car and these are cars that are slowing down. down trying to get a pit lane or d8 there at the bottom yeah here comes his top ed he turns to the side his right rear panel man what an amazing shot seen the rubble you can see that the '48 rear bumper is stuck in the cover. Redick's car cover arrived at Johnson's like a cheese grater and he kept everything.

Look, what is Larry? Yeah, I mean, this is a big deal because they're going to have a hard time putting fuel in it, they have to make those repairs. Pretty bad damage Shane McCloud picks up a lot of grass and due to the position of the stopped cars the pit lane will be closed for business here, why did they choose 20 to go to DW where they will now but we are getting ready for the Wow pin, join the counter now Kevin Harvick, Agel school is asking for caution. I may seem like a little safer tire, maybe I'll make contact.

The left rear tire came down. Are you kidding? This is big. Wow, what you just remembered reminds me of the same guy's class. from the massacre we saw where these cars were going everywhere a lot of damage everyone made it to three well that ruined everything I mean sometimes sometimes I'm speechless, I'm speechless you know there are just those stories that make you feel good that are built in a race and Matt DiBenedetto was doing an incredible job so let's go to the Goodyear blimp as the drivers exit or try to get back to pit road and look at the outside lane DiBenedetto and Paul Menard yes Paul Menard one giving a nice good push out the back immediately for DiBenedetto to get to his right rear oh yeah that just starts spinning him a little bit took him to the right rear and then he picks up Menard yeah Logano just misses him but the entire outside lane and half of the inside crash. and this is exactly what we were talking about at this stage of the race, you can start to taste victory in the Daytona 500, you want to see that checkered flag and you will do anything to get it and you know you have to do it. be more aggressive with those hits, it looks exactly like the crash, I mean, oh, all those cars in the third turn, all those crumpled cars sliding down the track with sparks flying and it's a lot like The Clash which is on the 17th February and it looks too much. like the 4th of July, fireworks everywhere, yeah, and it really was a Paul Menard giving Benedetto a little show, but it was on the outside, on the right side, and that just made the DiBenedetto the outside wall and then It was a different situation than what we saw in the class between Menard and Jimmie Johnson, but it was something similar when we heard the observer in 21 Menard say well, he zigged and we zagged and in this case Menard told his team. the radio I just hit it too much I mean, what are you going to do?

It's the end of the race. You're trying to help that guy. You're trying to help DiBenedetto. You're not trying to ruin it, but it's just bad. trial, look at that, yeah, Alma rollers number 10, get David Ragan, under the ten, Almirola, David Ragan, and look what Springs is running, look at all the spark lines, oh, he gon' turn the flirting, oh man everyone needs to turn down the 34. great save from McDonagh, come on they destroyed Larson again instead of home, you won't believe how Ryan Preece opened the gap and went through there. I can't believe it, you know what I can't believe, they acknowledged that this accident actually ended.

This happened because 17 surprised Douve towards the middle, it really wasn't a big hole there Calexico Lexy Carson, because there wasn't a wall, here comes 13 he gets in the two, spins it and Logano looks under the blanket Ayano Kyle Busch on top. Logano lane on the bottom McDowell the second yellow car where will it go so interesting that McDowell decided to go with Kyle Busch but here comes Eric Jones on the inside Denny Hamlin Hamlin top 4 this time no side by side battles over Denny Hamlin wins his second Daytona 500 and the win for Coach Gibbs at Toyota in Atlanta, one car, wow, what a day it was for JD, for Joe Gibbs, for that whole team, those storybook things that were destined to hang.
