Fords occupied the positions one through eight and eleven of the top twelve overall. Ty Dillon separated ninth-placed Mustangs. Pit road witnessed several accidents. Chase Briscoe slipped on his stall as he entered pit road. Daniel Suarez received a penalty for speeding during restart.
Stages awarded to top ten finishers in each of the first two stages

Stages for the runners-up at each of these stages
Playoff points will be given to drivers who finish in the top 10 of each stage of Daytona 500. For each stage won by the winner of the Daytona 500, five points will be given to him. Based on the finish, the stage awards to the runners-up in each stage of the Daytona 500 track's Daytona 500 track are determined. Drivers in Stage 3 and Stage 4 will receive playoff points.
The green flag for the restart is the start of Stage 2. The point system for Stage 2 is the same as for Stage 1, with bonus points awarded based on first and second place finishes. The winner will also earn one playoff point for Stage 2. For the final stage, a caution period will be in place. The drivers will then start Stage 3.
Stages for the second-place finisher at each of the first 2 stages
