Third in Daytona 500 Dillon finished third in the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway Sunday night. Impact It's been quite a week for the driver of the No. 3 RCR Chevrolet. After capturing the win Thursday night in his Daytona Duel race, Dillon entered the Daytona 500 on a mission. He'd avoid the many multi-car accidents of the night, and survive with the fenders intact to race for the win. Dillon was a fixture among the leaders for most of the race and would lead 7 total laps for the night. As the last-lap wreck sparked among the lead duo, he would navigate through the storm and come out the other side. Dillon would be credited with third-place when the final caution came out. It was his third-career Daytona Top-5 finish and first Top 5 in the Great American Race since his 2018 Daytona 500 victory.
