Chris Buescher drove to the victory in Saturday night's NASCAR Cup Series regular season finale at Daytona International Speedway. It marked his third win of the season, making him a genuine contender for the series championship.
Meanwhile, Bubba Wallace finished in 12th to make the cut in the final Playoff transfer spot, while a fourth place finish for Chase Elliott meant the Dawsonville, Georgia native missed the Playoffs for the first time in eight years.
In addition, Ryan Preece's night came to an abrupt end when he barrel rolled down the backstretch with five laps to go.
