William Byron is now a two-time Daytona 500 champion, and his legacy is being built on that. But Byron wants more, driving the car made famous by Jeff Gordon.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — William Byron became the first back-to-back Daytona 500 winner in five years after sneaking by a huge crash on the final lap of the race. Byron was in seventh place with a half-lap to go, but all of the cars in front of him suddenly wrecked and Byron sailed through when the seas parted.

Last year: Daniel Suarez edged Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch in a three-wide finish. There were 10 cautions and an Atlanta-record 47 lead changes, alongside a pileup of at least 16 cars, the biggest in the history of Atlanta Motor Speedway. Last race: William Byron captured his second Daytona 500 win while narrowly avoiding a final-lap crash.
