In the first race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Championship, Dawsonville native Chase Elliott finished second at the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 14. Due to a crash between frontrunners Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano on the last lap, the race ended as soon as NASCAR officials flashed the caution lights, signaling an accident to the other drivers. Elliott was less than a car length away from winner Michael McDowell when Nascar called the race.
