After taking the lead in the Daytona Duel No. 1, Bubba Wallace spun out, bringing out the second caution flag in the 60-lap race at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 12.
Wallace, who had aggressively overtaken Joey Logano for the lead coming off turn 2, avoided contact and only had to take tires during the caution. The flaps on Wallace’s No. 23 Toyota Camry prevented it from flipping.
