Good morning. It's Monday, Feb. 19. The winner of the 60th Daytona 500 was Austin Dillon, who prevailed after leading for only one lap -- the one that mattered most.

Meanwhile, students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, where 17 people were killed allegedly by a former expelled student, vowed not to let their pain be in vain.

Darrell Wallace Jr. got emotional after his history-making, second-place finish at the Daytona 500. Watch his reaction here.
