There were several lead changes in the early part of the race going, with a race record of 32. The first caution flew on lap 18 when <a href="/wiki/Martin_Truex_Jr." title="Martin Truex Jr.">Martin Truex Jr.</a> hit the wall. During this caution, Burton was passed by <a href="/wiki/Elliott_Sadler" title="Elliott Sadler">Elliott Sadler</a> for the lead a lap later. The race restarted on lap 20 and 4 laps later, <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Gordon" title="Jeff Gordon">Jeff Gordon</a> took the led away from Sadler. <a href="/wiki/Carl_Edwards" title="Carl Edwards">Carl Edwards</a>, a popular "dark horse candidate" for the <a href="/wiki/NASCAR_Sprint_Cup_Series" class="mw-redirect" title="NASCAR Sprint Cup Series">Nextel Cup</a> championship, had his day end early, as he was involved in a five-car pileup on lap 80 that collected <a href="/wiki/Dale_Jarrett" title="Dale Jarrett">Dale Jarrett</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kyle_Petty" title="Kyle Petty">Kyle Petty</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Green_(racing_driver)" title="Jeff Green (racing driver)">Jeff Green</a>, <a href="/wiki/J._J._Yeley" title="J.

This would also bring out the third caution flag. Because of this, Edwards finished 43rd. <a href="/wiki/Tony_Stewart" title="Tony Stewart">Tony Stewart</a> was a "magnet for controversy", tangling with <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Gordon" title="Jeff Gordon">Jeff Gordon</a> on lap 48 and <a href="/wiki/Matt_Kenseth" title="Matt Kenseth">Matt Kenseth</a> on lap 106. The first incident (which left debris on the track) brought out the second caution, which ended when the race restarted four laps later, and the second one would bring out the fifth caution. Stewart was penalized for aggressive driving after the incident with Kenseth, in which he blocked the No.17 car into the grass, causing it to spin and hit the wall in turn 3. Kenseth took matters into his own hands and was <a href="/wiki/Racing_flag#The_black_flag" class="mw-redirect" title="Racing flag">black-flagged</a> for hitting Stewart's car in retaliation on pit road. The three drivers involved in these two incidents would repair their cars and get back into contention. Kenseth at first failed to answer the black flag, which resulted in NASCAR no longer continuing to score the 17 car for 1 lap. Kenseth would make up the lost lap and catch up to lead lap traffic. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Jimmie_Johnson" title="Jimmie Johnson">Jimmie Johnson</a> had one of the strongest cars all day. He took the lead with 10 laps to go just as the ninth caution flag came out for a crash involving Gordon, <a href="/wiki/Kurt_Busch" title="Kurt Busch">Kurt Busch</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jamie_McMurray" title="Jamie McMurray">Jamie McMurray</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Sterling_Marlin" title="Sterling Marlin">Sterling Marlin</a>. This set up a 10-lap battle for the win. The race was extended into "overtime" when McMurray and Burton collided on lap 197, bringing out yet the 10th caution. The <a href="/wiki/Green-white-checker_finish" class="mw-redirect" title="Green-white-checker finish">green-white-checkered finish</a> ended when <a href="/wiki/Casey_Mears" title="Casey Mears">Casey Mears</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ryan_Newman_(racing_driver)" title="Ryan Newman (racing driver)">Ryan Newman</a> battled for second, leaving Johnson to take the victory. The race ended under caution when <a href="/wiki/Greg_Biffle" title="Greg Biffle">Greg Biffle</a> crashed in turn 4, just before Johnson crossed the line. The 48th running of the Daytona 500 was the first win for the No. 48 car on a <a href="/wiki/Restrictor_plate" title="Restrictor plate">restrictor plate</a> track.
