Although the cautions didn't start coming out until over halfway through Saturday night's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway, the second half of the race more than made up for it. The latest race in the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series was marred by crashes, including a big one with seven laps to go and one last one on the final lap out of Turn 4, as Tony Stewart was crossing the finish line to claim the checkered flag and his third win of the year.
Kevin Harvick was involved in that final wreck, when he was shoved by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Joey Logano. Greg Biffle, who had been working with Matt Kenseth, hadn't anticipated the moved and caused the crash when he moved into Harvick. As a result, Harvick finished in a disappointing 23rd place. Biffle finished 21st.
