There have been a lot of opinions on the moves by Austin Dillon on the last lap but best way to analyze them is to look at the actual data so let's dig into his last two laps in a quick thread. Orange = Lap 407 Blue = Lap 408

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Dirty Mo Media Pretty big impact. The steering wheel moved far forward enough that he hit the backside of it with his right forearm as his arms were bouncing around.

The quarter panels do channel a little air to the spoiler but it doesn't seem to be significant.

Newgarden gained 6 spots on the first pit stop because his pit crew was able to complete a four tire change in just 4.96 seconds.

It sounds like the RFK Fords got around 6.2 MPG wide open at Daytona based on the comms here. That means they can make it 124 miles on a full fill which is 49.6 laps so they basically had to save enough to make up 3 laps in the 2nd stage and 10 laps of fuel in that final stage.

It looks like Wallace bottomed out on a bump which likely resulted in the rear shocks reaching the limiters inside of them. Once the limiters are hit, the suspension can no longer compress and the cornering loads are transferred through the tire, overwhelming the contact patch.

From what I could tell SVG was running the wall and getting closer to Hill on each lap. On the lap of the incident, SVG could not get to the wall because he was now too close to Hill so he decided to run the middle and go low. Hill also went low and ended up directly in front.

It looks like the 78 broke something between the transaxle and the suspension upright, possibly a control arm or maybe a half shaft which eventually caused further suspension damage. Watch the sparks when we slow down this view and you'll see the parts rubbing.

Always so cool to see something with truck arms get hustled around a street course.

Incredible that there was an AMR safety worker talking to Newgarden less than 3 seconds after the car stopped moving.

It would be really cool if people didn't just knock our car off track after we beat them in the pit lane. Maybe they can try to use some talent next time instead of just running into people.

For those that were curious about what was happening on the No. 88 of Connor Zilisch here, my guess is that the mechanic was likely turning clickers on the shock for compression or rebound. He was complaining about the car bouncing so maybe adjusting compression.

Larson ran into exactly what I covered in my recent column for Motorsport where the car was disturbed on the bumps and the shocks likely bottomed out in the rear which is basically like having ice under the rear tires as there is no dampening.
