Kyle Busch in Victory Lane at Daytona.

As the caution light came on Carl Edwards was in a dog fight sprint with Busch. "And I was just getting a run up on his door, so I thought that I was probably second," said Edwards. NASCAR did indeed rule that Edwards was second.

Matt Kenseth came in third. He said there is no question that Daytona produced a wild finish on Saturday night. "You know you never know what's going to happen on them green-white checkers, you're pretty sure at a plate race at a green-while checker there's going to be a wreck and you hope you're not in it, basically," said Kenseth.

Busch is now the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points leader by 182 points over Dake Earnhardt Jr.
