The win was Stewart’s seventh Nationwide Daytona victory and moved him into a tie with the late Dale Earnhardt for most all-time.
Danica Patrick was competitive from the onset and at one point, even powered underneath Stewart to take the lead. Altogether, she led five laps on the afternoon, but her promising run came to an end prematurely when she went to the garage with what was thought to be a blown engine on Lap 31. Victory marks Stewart’s seventh Nationwide Daytona win. The problem was later diagnosed to be an issue with her ignition. Patrick finished 36th.
Pole-sitter Trevor Bayne also suffered mechanical troubles believed to be a driveshaft and ended up 31st in the final rundown.
