NASCARスプリントカップ開幕戦デイトナ500マイルレースは、雨による2度のディレイを経て月曜日夜にスタートが切られ、マット・ケンセスが2回目のデイトナ500優勝を飾った。レースは終盤、昨年のチャンピオン、トニー・スチュワートなどがからむアクシデントによりグリーン・ホワイトチェッカーによるエンディングとなった。
レースはラップ2に、5回のチャンピオン、ジミー・ジョンソンや昨年の優勝者トレバー・ベインにカップレース初出場のダニカ・パトリックらがからむクラッシュが発生し、波乱のスタートとなった。160ラップにはコーション中にコース上を走行中のジェット・ドライヤーカーに、スピンしたファン・モントーヤがぶつかるアクシデント起きた。モントーヤとドライヤーカーのドライバー無事脱出したものの、ドライヤーカーが搭載していた200リッターのジェット燃料が炎上。これによりレースは赤旗中断となり、コース整備に2時間を費やした。
レースはラストラップで、プラクティスから好調のラウシュ・フェンウェイのケンセスとグレッグ・ビィッフィルのフォード勢と、デール・アンハートJr.が3パックとなったが、アンハートはビィッフィルの巧みなブロックから抜け出すことができず、ゴール直前ようやく2番手に上がったもののケンセスがトップでチェッカーを受けた。
10回のコーションにより、レース終了は日も変わった午前1時となっていた。
