Byron BEATEN to top spot despite Daytona 500 win as manufacturer DOMINATES

After a lengthy and dramatic Daytona 500, NASCAR Cup Series stars have put points on the board for the first time this season.

And, despite taking a stunning last-lap victory at Daytona International Speedway, Hendrick Motorsports' William Byron is not the man on top.

That honor belongs to Ryan Blaney, who had been in contention for the win at Daytona until being caught up in a wreck with around 20 or so laps to go.

Blaney did get a stage win under his belt in stage two, however, and came home in fifth after the huge last-lap wreck, meaning he racked up a total of 51 points compared to Byron's 50.

Elsewhere, the top ten is currently dominated by Toyota, despite many predicting Ford to be the strongest manufacturer in Daytona.

Although the top three spots are occupied by other manufacturers, Toyota have five cars inside the top 10 of the Cup Series standings coming out of the first race.
