The 52 and 51 spun wildly and are both stuck in the grass.
Crash
We told you to expect pitlane chaos and it just happened.
Yellow flag
YELLOW!
Crash
Last year's winner Austin Dillon drills Brendon Gaughan entering pitlane. Expect more fun here!
Inside lane gaining preeminence now, with Byron leading Stenhouse, Bowyer, Logano
There are 47 laps to go
Meanwhile the Penske Fords run seventh (JoLo), 10th (Blaney) and 13th (Kez)
Lead Toyota at this stage is sixth placed DiBenedetto, but Kyle Busch is lurking in eighth
The two lanes are being led by Hendrick Chevys, Byron inside, Johnson outside.
They're chased by Stenhouse and Harvick respectively
They're chased by Stenhouse and Harvick respectively
And Harvick is leading the outside lane
Byron and Johnson hook up at the front - it's a Hendrick benefit!
Stenhouse and Bowyer come close to wrecking on the backstretch!
Logano had a big moment through Turn 3.
Now Byron and Harvick have moved back up to the outside
Clint Bowyer into fifth place, pushing Johnson on outside lane
Johnson still leading the outside lane but it's not enough to get him out front.
Byron and Harvick move down to claim first and second overall but on the inside lane
Stenhouse is Almirola's pusher on the inside lane
Harvick and Johnson pushing Byron on the outside lane
It's two-wide racing all the way.
Almirola hits the front again on the backstretch.
Byron sticks with the outside line, and he's back in front.
Almirola gets pushed to the point.
Green flag
Here we go then, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN!
One to go, and then it's 75 laps to decide who wins the 61st Daytona 500.
At the restart, it will be Byron leading Almirola, Stenhouse, Harvick and Suarez leading the way in a Ford 2-3-4-5. Wonder how this will work out?
Surprise star of the race so far? DiBenedetto. He's Leavine on a jet plane.
But can he remain a contender to the end of the race?
Pit stop
Here come the pitstops. Blaney brings them down, Bowman, Almirola, Stenhouse and Harvick stay out.
At the end of Stage 2, both lanes looked strong when properly organized, but there was so much side-to-side shuffling that it kept breaking tows and losing momentum for the bottom half of the Top 10.
Keselowski fell down to fourth, ahead of Stenhouse. DiBenedetto kept sixth.
Blaney wins stage two! Byron is second, Almirola third.
Blaney moves high to cover Byron.
Keselowksi leaves Blaney's draft, but Blaney pulls across again.
Can the Penske duo keep the pack behind? One to go to the end of Stage 2!
DiBenedetto is back in the top-six mix.
Who is going to claim those maximum stage points?
