Marvin Jones picked right on Sunday, scoring a whopping 268 points in a race filled with attrition. He scored 36 points more than his closest competition to pick up the win, which was the fourth win of his career. Marvin hadn't won a race since 2018, as a matter of fact he hadn't finished in the top FIVE in a race since 2019. What a way to turn that around, now a Daytona 500 Champion!
Scott Polohonki finished second, starting his year on a strong note. He, too, struggled in 2020, only scoring 2 top five finishes. Well, he's half way there after only one race in 2021! Conan Hultgren finished third, Gary Dadey was fourth and Donald Hardison Jr rounded out the top five in the 500.
2020 Champion Scott Schmitt begins his title defense with a disappointing 41st place finish. He will be back in victory lane before we know it though!
