00:00 It used to be known as hot Lana now it should be known as Wow Lana what an amazing race
00:06 It was a gorgeous race to watch these guys drive 37 of the world's greatest drivers to watch him yesterday
00:13 We saw a glimpse into what this race was going to be between lap 30 and lap 40. We saw Michael McDowell
00:19 We saw Kyle Larson. We saw Kyle Busch and we saw Ryan Blaney dice it out
00:23 It looked like a dance for about 10 laps. It was beautiful
00:26 It was a work of art for me to watch it. That was a glimpse and where the race was gonna go
00:31 Yeah, there was some accidents. Yes, there were some things that went on
00:33 But when it came down to that last lap, we do not have this finish without this next-gen car
00:40 This next-gen car is what made this finish possible
00:43 Also bubble Wallace made this finish possible and Austin Sendrick
00:47 We go into turn one bubble Wallace behind Kyle Busch Austin Sendrick behind Daniel Suarez
00:53 They get a run they get a run they get a run Kyle Busch goes to the outside
00:58 Daniel Suarez goes further to the outside
01:00 They go into turn three three wide bubble washes up slows down the rest of the pack
01:05 So it's three wide side by side and with this car because of the aerodynamics that we all complain about
01:11 They stall out and they come to the line side by side
01:15 zero zero
01:17 three
01:18 thousandths of a second
01:20 You could throw a blanket over him. That's it
01:22 Nobody knew everybody called it wrong if you listen to the radio or watching it on TV, everyone called it wrong
01:28 Daniel Suarez takes home the win in
01:31 Dramatic fashion this photo is gonna replace the Lee Petty Johnny Bo champ and Joe Weatherly photo from Daytona
01:39 Yes, that's a historic photo. But this will be a milestone and a mile marker to take us forward in this sport
