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.

William Byron is riding high off his historic Daytona 500 win. Was it enough to boost him to the top spot in this week's rankings?

William Byron is a two-time Daytona 500 champion. Byron survived a last-lap crash that took out the other leaders in the front pack, then outlasted Tyler Reddick to the checkered flag to win on Sunday. Austin Cindric and Team Penske dominated the first 450 miles, but three separate multi-car crashes whittled the field down.

Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon were both critical of Joey Logano’s actions before a multi-car crash late in Sunday night’s Daytona 500. Eight cars were collected in the incident, which brought out the caution on Lap 187 of the 202-lap race.

Daytona 500 chaos rained just as Kyle Busch’s chance to win it seemed real. He left confused and frustrated at a NASCAR procedure.
