During the UnitedRentals300 NASCAR event at Daytona, with only 5 laps to go, Riley Herbst faced a restart violation leading to a penalty that required him to restart at the rear of the field. Despite being in control and leading the race just before a significant crash, Herbst was penalized for laying back on the restart. This decision was met with disagreement from Herbst, who voiced his concerns over the radio. Following the penalty, Jordan Anderson took the lead. The incident also involved a major crash affecting drivers Allgaier, Custer, Dye, and Karam, reshuffling the running order.
