Newman wins Daytona, moves into all-time Daytona field
Ryan Newman's 13th win was a lucky one -- the Daytona 500.
The five points he receives in my system for winning Daytona plus the one point for winning a race was enough to move him into the top 43 racers in NASCAR history.
The person he knocked out of the all-time race is still active -- Kevin Harvick -- so he may make his way back in. The guy on the cut line is Ernie Irvan. Here is the updated starting grid for the all-time NASCAR race.
