The Daytona 500 concluded in spectacular fashion Sunday with Denny Hamlin beating Martin Truex Jr by just 0.010 seconds and a lead of less than six inches — the closest finish in the history of the race.
Hamlin, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, slammed across the finish line just a foot ahead of Truex after a gripping race that saw favourite Dale Earnhardt Jr spinning out after catching a rough tailwind.
It was Hamlin's first Daytona win, and possibly the most spectacular in the sport's recent history — a true photo finish that left commentators guessing even past the last moment.
