Impact While he led just 3 laps during the race, Elliott would become a pivotal driver in the final lap of this 500-mile classic. On the backstretch of the final lap the Hendrick Motorsports star would give a major push to Michael McDowell in a move for the lead. The duo would push Brad Keselowski into Joey Logano as he tried to hold onto the lead. A big crash would spark between the two Penske Racing Fords as McDowell and Elliott drove past. NASCAR would freeze the field at the time of caution and Elliott would be declared the second-place finisher. It was his first Top 5 of the season, and second-consecutive runner-up finish at Daytona.
