Post-race technical inspection following Saturday night’s NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway has been completed.

Ryan Blaney’s race-winning No. 12 Team Penske Ford Mustang has passed. As a result, NASCAR has declared Blaney and his team the official winners of the race.

This marks Blaney’s second-consecutive NCS win and his third win of the 2021 season.

Second-place finisher Chris Buescher was disqualified when it was discovered that his No. 17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford Mustang had an illegal track bar mounting assembly.

This elevates Bubba Wallace to a second-place finish.

No other issues were discovered in post-race inspection, which means all results and standings following the race are now considered official (once Buescher’s DQ is accounted for).
