Horror crash overshadows Daytona 500

China Daily  

Denny Hamlin celebrates after winning a second straight Daytona 500 on Monday. Hamlin had eight Ford drivers lined up behind him as the leader on the second overtime shootout without a single fellow Toyota driver in the vicinity to help him. Hamlin's win last year was a 1-2-3 sweep for Joe Gibbs Racing and kicked off a yearlong company celebration in which Gibbs drivers won a record 19 races and the Cup championship. Now his third Daytona 500 win puts him alongside six Hall of Fame drivers as winners of three or more Daytona 500s. He tied Dale Jarrett－who gave JGR its first Daytona 500 win in 1993－Jeff Gordon and Bobby Allison.
