DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., February 17, 2020 — With the car of Ryan Newman sliding upside-down trailing sparks behind him, Denny Hamlin joined elite company on Monday night in the second-closest finish in Daytona 500 history.
Hamlin beat Ryan Blaney to the finish line at Daytona International Speedway by .014 seconds, while the driver of the No. Eleven celebrated with a burnout on the infield grass. The emergency crew worked to extricate Newman from his No. 6 Ford, which came to rest on its roof at the end of the tri-oval.
Hamlin—unaware of Newman’s predicament when he started his burnout—went to a subsequent subdued Victory Lane celebration as the winner of two straight Daytona 500s and three of the last five. It tied him for third with Bobby Allison, Dale Jarrett and Jeff Gordon in the number of victories in the Great American Race.
