Here's who won the Daytona 500, how much the purse was for this year's race, and just how social media reacted to it.

William Byron is now a two-time Daytona 500 champion, and his legacy is being built on that. But Byron wants more, driving the car made famous by Jeff Gordon.

Last year: Daniel Suarez edged Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch in a three-wide finish. There were 10 cautions and an Atlanta-record 47 lead changes, alongside a pileup of at least 16 cars, the biggest in the history of Atlanta Motor Speedway. Last race: William Byron captured his second Daytona 500 win while narrowly avoiding a final-lap crash.
