Joey Logano wins Clash at Daytona while Keselowski, Hamlin crash

Joey Logano paid out at 13/2 odds to win Clash.

Joey Logano took advantage of a last-lap wreck between race leader Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski to take the lead of and win the Advance Auto Parts Clash.

Logano was in third when Keselowski dove beneath Hamlin for the lead. They sideswiped each other in Turn 2, sending Hamlin spinning through the field untouched.

The slowing of the field to avoid Hamlin allowed Logano to put enough distance between him and second place, which was fought for between Kyle Busch and Alex Bowman.

Danica Patrick finished fourth.

“Kind of was in the right place at the right time,” Logano told Fox Sports 1. “Brad was going to make the move and I was just going to follow him through. When I saw (Hamlin) coming down, I immediately went to the top. The writing was written on the wall what was going to happen.”

The accident between Hamlin and and Keselowski involved the drivers who started on the front row and led the most laps in the 75-lap race.
