William Byron captures 2nd straight Daytona 500 victory in overtime lap thriller

A crash at the front with one lap to go allowed Byron to sneak up and capture the win

William Byron won the Dayton 500, which was a marathon on Sunday night, after rain delays and yellow caution flags ultimately led to some overtime laps. 

And those two overtime laps were an absolute thrill that saw multiple spin-outs and crashes that allowed Byron to win the Daytona 500 for the second consecutive year.

Six of the last eight Daytona 500 races have ended in overtime. 

This is a developing story. More to come.
