Third-Place in Great American Race
NASCAR Cup
February 16, 2025
Johnson finished third in the Daytona 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday evening.
ANALYSIS
Starting 40th on the grid would seemingly put Johnson at a huge disadvantage. He wouldn't collect a stage point and he wouldn't lead a single lap. However, the seven-time champion would survive getting some damage in a lap 72 tangle and make it all the way to the finish. The overtime finish and last-lap crash would propel Johnson from outside the Top 10 to racing for the win. He would cross the finish line third-place for his best finish since returning to NASCAR action in 2023.
