Reddick started from 26th position but capitalized on chaos during the final lap to move from fourth to first. The No. 45 driver avoided a late crash and passed Chase Elliott entering the final turn to secure the victory. The win marked the first Daytona 500 triumph for 23XI Racing, which is co-owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan.
The race was marred by 'The Big One' on Lap 124, which involved 20 drivers, but Reddick managed to stay clear of the major incident. Following Reddick's victory, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished second, followed by Joey Logano and Chase Elliott.
