DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Denny Hamlin is the first driver to win back-to-back Daytona 500s since Sterling Marlin in 1994 and ’95. Hamlin joined six Hall of Fame drivers as winners of three or more Daytona 500s. The race was marred by a crash that caused Ryan Newman’s car to flip over several times before catching fire. NASCAR read a statement from Roush Fenway Racing that said Newman is in “serious condition, but doctors have indicated his injuries are not life threatening.”
