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.

Clint Bowyer got into the back of race leader Austin Dillon coming into Turn 1, setting off a multi-car wreck in Sunday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

Bowyer made a move to the inside of the track and Dillon came down with him, but Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet did not clear Bowyer’s No. 14 Ford. The two cars came together, spun and wrecked into the field behind them.

“I guess he didn’t want me to pass him,” Bowyer said of Dillon. “I don’t know. I got under him and he blocked, and we got together, I got off of him — moved down and got off of him — and here he comes back down even more and just finally wrecked us all. That’s just part of racing like this.”

Dillon gave his side of the story.

“Originally off of Turn 4 I thought me and the 9 would be able to get by the 11, but the 9 wasn’t clear,” Dillon said. “I really thought it was urgent because of the lightning and rain coming so I jumped up there and had a good push from the 14. My plan was as soon as I cleared the 11 was to cut down and get left again to get with my Chevy teammates. It’s real unfortunate.”

Eighteen cars were counted to be involved in the wreck that brought out a caution flag on Lap 120 of a scheduled 160. Besides Bowyer and Dillon, the list included the Nos. 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 37, 42, 43, 47, 88, 95 and 96.

Brad Keselowski was involved in a six-car incident during Stage 2 of Sunday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400, ending the Team Penske driver’s day after the No. 2 Ford took extensive damage. Kevin Harvick got into the back of Keselowski’s No. 2 as cars were coming out of Turn 4 on Lap 83.

Also involved in the wreck were Daniel Hemric, Joey Logano, David Ragan and Daniel Suarez.

RELATED: Race results

Keselowski “drew a line in the sand” when he did not lift and ran into the back of William Byron during Monster Energy Series practice earlier in the week.

In the incident that ended Keselowski’s day, it appeared as though Harvick did not lift when Keselowski came in front of him.

“I haven’t seen,” Keselowski said of the incident. “I know I was going straight one moment and the next moment I wasn’t. It’s unfortunate. We were all two- and three-wide racing and just got tagged from the back. I’m not sure exactly. I know we got to three-wide at the top of three and it looks like Kevin (Harvick) gave me a real straight push. I don’t know. It just took off on me.”

The afternoon also ended early for Ragan and Suarez, whose respective rides incurred significant damage.

It was a battle between Chevrolets and Fords to finish out Stage 2 of the postponed Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday.

Austin Dillon and his No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, however, was able to hold onto his lead with help from a line of fellow Chevrolets behind him and pull away to win his second stage victory in 2019.

Alex Bowman in the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet finished second, while his HMS teammates William Byron in the No. 24 and Chase Elliott in the No. 9 ended up right behind him.

Clint Bowyer in the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford was leading a pack of Fords on the outside line and came close to pulling away with the lead, but they weren’t able to pull it off. Bowyer finished in fifth.

On Lap 83, Brad Keselowski got turned into the wall after a push from Kevin Harvick. Daniel Hemric, Daniel Suarez and David Ragan were all swept up in the aftermath. Keselowski’s No. 2 Team Penske Ford endured too much damage to continue, ending his day before the conclusion of Stage 2. Same goes for Suarez and Ragan.

Stage 2 opened with an incident between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kurt Busch. Stenhouse Jr. went spinning down the front stretch when Busch didn’t lift.

On Lap 76, Busch got tight and hit the Turn 3 wall, sending him spinning and bringing out the third caution of the day. Busch’s No. 1 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet suffered a decent amount of damage and went to pit road for repairs.

STAGE 1

Joey Logano raced to his seventh stage win of the season winning the opening stage of Sunday’s postponed Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway and leading 35 laps.

Starting from the pole position, Logano’s No. 22 Team Penske Ford led the first lap of the race before Kyle Busch in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing got a jump with help from his teammate Denny Hamlin to lead the second lap. But it didn’t take long for Logano to take back the lead with help from fellow Ford driver Kevin Harvick.

Logano lost the top spot during the first round of pit stops, when Harvick beat him off pit road and took the lead. Harvick led 12 laps.

But on the last lap of the stage, with help from Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Logano took back the lead, pushing Harvick to fourth.

Manufacturers worked together, resulting in a 1-2-3-4 Ford sweep. Stenhouse Jr. finished in second in the No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford followed by Ryan Blaney in the No. 12 Team Penske Ford in third.

Harvick took fourth in the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford and Chase Elliott in the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet rounded out the top five. Elliott was the highest finishing Chevrolet and the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota of Hamlin in eighth was the highest finishing Toyota.

With 14 laps to go in Stage 1, the Toyotas and Chevrolets hit pit road for the first stop of the day. Hamlin got into the back of Busch’s Toyota entering the pits.

Saturday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway was postponed because of inclement weather. The race was moved to Sunday, July 7 at 1 p.m. ET, airing live on NBC, the NBC Sports App, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Rain moved into the Daytona Beach, Florida, area about two hours before green flag, and the original green-flag time of 7:40 p.m. ET was missed. Despite NASCAR’s track-drying efforts, the race was moved because the forecast for the rest of the night was not favorable.

RELATED: Daytona schedule | Starting Lineup

Once the race gets underway, Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series points leader Joey Logano will lead the field to the green flag in the No. 22 Team Penske Ford. Kyle Busch, in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, will also be on the front row.

This is race No. 18 in the 2019 Monster Energy Series season, so there are nine chances left for a driver without a win to virtually clinch a playoff spot with a victory. Drivers on the playoff bubble include seven-time series champion Jimmie Johnson, Daniel Suarez, Clint Bowyer and Erik Jones. Former Daytona winners Ryan Newman and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. are currently below that cut-off line.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The NASCAR Foundation recently hosted its fourth of six popular Speediatrics Fun Day Festivals, and this one was extra special. It actually took two days.

Similar to the foundation’s other Fun Day Festivals, 250 local children participated Friday in a variety of NASCAR-themed field day activities: “Looking for Lug Nuts” … “Pit Stop Challenge” … “Gas Can Relay” … “Goodyear Tire Race” … and “Pinewood Derby.”

But there was a wonderful Daytona-specific wrinkle this time around.

The children were surprised with new bicycles. And to make sure they were able to safely operate their bikes, The NASCAR Foundation partnered with the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma to provide each child with a bike helmet, fitted to them by volunteers who are certified helmet-fitters from sheriff departments in Flagler and Seminole counties and other organizations. There were also bike safety demonstrations that included the proper use of hand signals, reflectors and helmets.

Bicycles were built Saturday and will be given next week to the children who attended the event. Specially-invited teams were on hand to complete the build process, including squads with NASCAR crew members from the Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing organizations.

“We love it,” said Jeremy Bullins, crew chief for Team Penske’s No. 12 Ford driven by Ryan Blaney. “Most of us have kids at home, and this is something we can do to give back to these (local) kids.”

For some of the children receiving bicycles, it’s about more than fun. In select area school districts, children living within two miles of their school are ineligible to ride a bus.

“So the bikes will not only help them stay active, but will serve as a mode of transportation during the school year,” said Nichole Krieger, executive director of The NASCAR Foundation. “We have 250 kids, 250 helmets and 250 bicycles we are matching up. We needed two days. The bikes are going through ‘inspection’ (Saturday), to make sure they are ready.

“What a gratifying project. When we told the kids on Friday about the bikes, you could see their eyes light up.”

A number of current NASCAR drivers took part in the two-day event, including four from Richard Childress Racing. That group included the 2018 Daytona 500 champion Austin Dillon, who helped fit children with helmets Friday. Dillon was joined at the festival by teammates Daniel Hemric, Tyler Reddick and Joe Graf Jr.

Three other NASCAR drivers also participated — Joey Gase, Austin Hill and Scott Lagasse Jr. — as did 15-year-old Pro Late Model driver Daniel Dye.

“It’s just giving back,” Dillon said. “It’s cool to see The NASCAR Foundation and the Childress Institute coming together to give away bikes to all these kids, to let them have fun but teach them about safety, too. Any time you can give back to the future … that’s what this is. These kids are the future of our country.”

The start of the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway was delayed because of rain.

The green flag was slated to drop at 7:40 p.m. ET, but NASCAR was still working on drying the 2.5-mile track after rain began to fall about two hours before the scheduled start time.

RELATED: Daytona schedule | Starting lineup

NASCAR had on hand 16 Air Titans, 10 jet dryers and two track vacuums to help with drying efforts. But at 8:15 p.m. ET the decision was made to move the race to Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on NBC, NBC Sports App, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

When the race gets underway, Joey Logano will start on the pole, with Kyle Busch starting alongside him on the front row after the starting lineup was set by the rule book due to the cancellation of Friday’s scheduled Busch Pole qualifying session.

Kyle Larson’s No. 42 Chip Ganassi Chevrolet is among six cars that will start at the rear for Sunday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway (1 p.m. ET; NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). Larson had been slated to start 13th.

Joining Larson at the rear for unapproved adjustments will be the No. 77 Chevrolet of Justin Haley (34th), the No. 53 Chevrolet of Joey Gase (40th) and the No. 62 Chevrolet of Brendan Gaughan (39th). Update on Sunday: The No. 95 Toyota of Matt DiBenedetto (25th) will also move to the rear for unapproved adjustments.

Additionally, William Byron will start at the rear in the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet for going to a backup car after his vehicle sustained damage from Brad Keselowski during practice at Daytona. Byron was slated to start 12th.
