The Daytona 500 went long on Sunday – 12 laps long, setting a new record. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. got his first career win at the 500, capping an up-and-down last few years on the circuit.
Our in-house NASCAR beat writer, Rod Mullins, joins the show to break down Stenhouse’s win and the rest of the wild Sunday in Florida.
