Inclement weather delays Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona


Inclement weather delayed Sunday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. Lightning in the area during the final stage caused NASCAR to bring cars down pit road and stop the race at 3:19 p.m. ET local time. Shortly before 5:30 p.m. ET local time NASCAR called the race as official.

Justin Haley, in the No. 77 Chevrolet, was scored in the lead when the red flag came out on Lap 127 of 160, and he was declared the race winner. William Byron in the No. 24 Chevrolet was in second place and Jimmie Johnson in the No. 48 Chevrolet was in third.

Ty Dillon, Ryan Newman, Corey LaJoie, Aric Almirola, Matt DiBenedetto, Matt Tifft and Kurt Busch rounded out the top 10.

The race was originally scheduled for Saturday night, but inclement weather postponed it until Sunday.
