The first race of the NASCAR season was a demolition derby that turned Daytona International Speedway into a giant junkyard.
Erik Jones won Sunday’s race that left a trail of destruction and masked the fact the Clash was a made-for-TV exhibition race. Only 18 cars were entered and only six were on track when the checkered flag flew at the end of a third overtime.
Jones crossed the finish line in a Toyota with a crumpled hood after a huge push from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate and defending Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin.
