Austin Cindric coasted into victory lane after winning this year's Daytona 500 -- on owner Roger Penske's 85th birthday. 🎉
Austin Cindric celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Daytona 500 auto race at Daytona International Speedway, Sunday, Feb. 20, 2022, in Daytona Beach, Fla. – Roger Penske had one rule at the Daytona 500 for his drivers: Do Not Wreck Each Other.
“We had talked for weeks after last year, when we were one-two and ended up in the fence,” Penske said. “I said, ‘Look, the best man wins at the end. I think we’ve got to work together.’Cindric was the leader at the start of the two-lap overtime shootout with Blaney beside him. He was driving the No.
Blaney was clear on the Penske expectations — “I wanted to try to win the race for Roger Penske. Whether that was me or another car, that’s what I was doing,” — and didn't have much to say after the race about Cindric's block.“I don’t know. Congrats to him, I guess," Blaney said."You’ve got to throw a block in that situation.”
A trio of Ford drivers rounded out the top five with Chase Briscoe third, followed by Blaney and Aric Almirola.
