would you say this years daytona 500 goes down as one of the top 10eaver?

No way. Go check youtube for the 76 or 79 finishes. The first one (59) took 3 days to decide as there were no photo finish cameras back then. 98 when Dale Earnhardt finally won it after 20 years. Tiny Lund's win in 63 in a way Hollywood wouldn't buy a script. I could go on.

I think it is they was lot of 3 side by side racing

Nope. Caution wins are lame wins.
