Ryan Preece wins at Daytona to take the final playoff spot in NASCAR’s Cup Series
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Preece secured the final playoff spot in NASCAR's Cup Series by winning the regular-season finale at Daytona International Speedway in overtime on Saturday night. During a chaotic green-white-checkered finish, Preece edged out Shane van Gisbergen for the 16th and decisive berth in the postseason showdown.
The victory was particularly sweet for Preece, who had previously flipped twice at Daytona. Preece's win ensured that Bubba Wallace, Austin Cindric, and Brad Keselowski had already clinched the other three spots in the 10-race Chase for the championship.
