There were a number of Daytona 500 contenders impacted late in Stage 3 following two different wrecks in the final seven laps at Daytona International Speedway.

First, Kyle Larson bumped Kyle Harvick, who essentially was sandwiched in the mix, and in turn impacted Chase Elliott, Todd Gilliand, Erik Jones and Noah Gragson. It prompted the sixth caution of the day and added to the number of drivers -- 22 at that point -- that were impacted in some type of crash Sunday.

Larson took responsibility for the crash when he spoke on the FOX broadcast after being cleared from the care center.

Here's the view from Harvick:

Shortly after, there was the seventh caution flag at lap No. 196 as Ricky Stenhouse Jr. bumped into Bubba Wallace and Brad Keselowski. Stenhouse was the lone driver to be impacted, and thus not did not compete in the final laps.

Austin Cindric, the rookie driver of the No. 2 Ford Mustang at Team Penske, ended up winning the Daytona 500.
