After a stirring Daytona 500, some numbers stand taller than others. With that in mind, here are some of the more important figures from Sunday’s 57th running of the Great American Race:
2 - Number of Daytona 500 winners from New England: Joey Logano (Middletown, Conn.) and 1970 winner Pete Hamilton (Newton, Mass.). Both men won their respective 500s on February 22.
3 - Number of Daytona 500 victories by the No. 22 car after today. The first two came from Fireball Roberts in 1962 and Ward Burton in 2002.
6 - Average finish for Denny Hamlin in the last four Daytona 500s.
7 - Number of penalties for speeding on pit road.
8 - Number of cars involved in the last-lap crash that caused today’s 500 to end under caution.
12 - Number of drivers sent to the rear of the field to start. One of them, Johnny Sauter, was cited twice for going to a backup car and missing Sunday’s driver introductions.
13 - The amount of Daytona 500 victories that Team Penske still must earn to equal its 15 in the Indianapolis 500.
27 - Number of lead changes, among 12 drivers.

39.3 - Average finish for Tony Stewart in the last three Daytona 500s.

110 - Consecutive Sprint Cup starts Kyle Busch had made until missing the Daytona 500 after being injured in Saturday’s Xfinity race.
2000 - Last year the pole-sitter won the Daytona 500 (Dale Jarrett).
