Gary, Indiana. took the number two spot. Jackson, Mississippi took number three, though they were nowhere close to Daytona Beach, with 3.84 and 3.79 times the median rate of car deaths.
Among small towns — those with populations under 50,000 — Dayton, Texas (located in the greater Houston metro) topped the list with a crash death rate an astonishing 12.4 times the national median

Are these the values from one specific year? If yes, the statistical error would be massive, especially for the cities <50k. The value of 73/100k in Dayton means, that ~7 people died, which could easily be caused by a single incident. So it might be the case that Dayton is generally a safe city, but it was just a really bad year for them. You'd have to look at multiple years to be able to see a pattern.
