Inspection from Daytona International Speedway is complete.

Chris Buescher, driving the No. 17 Fifth-Third Bank Ford Mustang, has passed all aspects of post-race technical inspection following Saturday’s Coke Zero Sugar 400, meaning he has been named the official winner of the event.

Brad Keselowski, Aric Almirola, Chase Elliott, and Joey Logano will all retain their positions inside the top five, as all race results and point standings distributed by NASCAR have been deemed official.

The No. 10 Ford Mustang, driven by Aric Almirola, will return to the NASCAR R&D Center for an evaluation of the chassis, while his teammate, Ryan Preece, will have his No. 41 Ford Mustang brought back to the NASCAR R&D Center for a safety evaluation.

There were no other issues in the post-race inspection.
