William Byron wins Daytona 500 (12 images)

By UPI Staff

William Byron took a tap from behind and nudged Brad Keselowski's car sideways, taking out a large portion of the field with nine laps to go in the Daytona 500 before winning on Monday in Daytona Beach, Fla. Byron was awarded the win because his car passed the white flag first as another caution was signaled.
