    Why the Daytona races ended under green

    All three races at Daytona ended under green even though there was contact coming to the finish. Mike, Nate and Amanda discuss the yellow flag philosophy and why we may see cautions at Echopark Speedway for wrecks that are similar to those in Daytona. They also discuss the Tyler Reddick's win, fuel milage during SuperSpeedway races, Alfredo's DQ in the duels and the fan disruption on pit road.
