Logano looked to be coasting to a victory, however, after Justin Allgaier wrecked and ran into the wall, the caution came out and Logano would have to restart with the rest of the pack.

Logano had no trouble on the restart and was able to get back out in front of everyone to win the Daytona 500.

Afterwards, Logano was filled with joy and excitement as he celebrated with his team and family. He took to Twitter to share his excitement and let everyone know how he felt about winning his first Daytona 500.

It’s a great moment for Logano, who is one of the best young drivers in NASCAR. Logano was able to live out one of his childhood dreams Sunday and will be now remembered alongside all the greats who have won the Daytona 500.

Logano has now earned a spot in the chase for the Sprint Cup Championship thanks to his win. He also is the leader overall in the Sprint Cup Standings after the first week.

What a moment for Joey.
