DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. (AP) -- The cracked, patched and deteriorating track held up better than most of the cars and some of the competitors. 

A wild night race at Daytona International Speedway - the last one on the track's 32-year-old surface - ended with Kevin Harvick
taking the checkered flag, teammate Clint Bowyer spinning through the infield grass and several angry driving searching for answers. 

Just another restrictor-plate race? Maybe. But this one also might be remembered as one of the more chaotic events at NASCAR's most famous track. 

Despite a record 18 leaders and 47 lead changes, the real excitement resulted from six multi-car crashes in the second half
of the race that essentially wiped out half the field.
