There was more than a little chaos surrounding the final results of this year's Daytona 200 after crashes, red flags and lighting failure caused both Jake Zemke and Jason DiSalvo, among others, to not have the first idea where they finished.

This was the first Daytona to run under floodlights, which was all well and good until they stopped working at the chicane, the pace car came out, everyone braked, Tommy Aquino got knocked off and there was a small fire which, apparently, went out on its own.

After a 30-minute red flag, the field went out again behind the pace car for a couple of warm-up laps, it went in, Suzuki's Kris Turner went down and back out it came again.

Not a big problem, you would imagine. But the race is meant to be a full 57 laps and it only went to 55 because the guy pushing the buttons on the big scoreboard hadn't been told to count the laps between the red flag and when the final pace car exited the track.

So as the leaders came round for lap 56, their pitboards showed two laps to go and the chequered flag was out, causing much consernation as no-one knew what the hell was going on.

"I was confused by quite a few things. When the pace car came out, I was in eighth, but when we lined back up, I lined up in fourth. And I didn't remember passing four guys on the pace car lap,' said DiSalvo.

"I didn't say anything about it, obviously. I'm still not 100% clear on the procedures. I think they need either a pamphlet with illustrations and diagrams, or an informative documentary."
