NASCAR Nationwide Daytona winner didn't lead any laps

Sound wrong? Nope, it's correct. Watch the video.


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Only six of 43 cars made it unscathed to the finish line of the Nationwide Series opener at Daytona International Speedway.

James Buescher was not driving one of those clean cars.

Still, he managed to dodge and weave his way through an 11-car accident on the last lap of Saturday's race, stealing the victory and setting the stage for what's expected to be a wild Daytona 500.

Buescher joined unknown John King, winner of Friday night's Truck Series opener, as surprise winners this weekend at Daytona. Both came from nowhere to win crash-marred races. Elliott Sadler, runner-up to Buescher on Saturday, said Sunday's race will be much of the same.

Two huge wrecks in the last 20 laps. Not good. Looked like demolition derby.
