MATT KENSETH, No. 20 Dollar General Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Qualified: 17th - How was the qualifying lap? “It was uneventful -- we seemed to lose a little bit of speed relative to the field yesterday I thought. Overall, it was good."

Just prior to the opening ceremonies for NASCAR's annual Sprint Unlimited, the Fox Sports 1 Network presented television viewers with a gorgeous shot of a full moon boldly shining over the Daytona International Raceway.

The 2014 Sprint Unlimited is in the books and we can put this one under the "odd" category....but I'm sure the ominous full moon...

The ever popular Atlanta Motor Speedway Racing Roulette promotion returns and will offer fans the opportunity to purchase tickets for the 2014 Labor Day Weekend NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Race for the price of the winning car number of the 2014 Daytona 500.

Chris Evans, star of Marvel’s latest Super Hero adventure “Captain America: The Winter Solider,” scheduled for release on April 4, will serve as Grand Marshal for the 56th annual DAYTONA 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday, Feb. 23, at Daytona International Speedway.

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Express Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Finishing Position: 1st - How strong was your car? “The best car won, that’s for sure. "

KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 JIMMY JOHN’S CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED FIFTH - YOU LOST A LAP AND THEN YOU WERE ABLE TO COME BACK AND BATTLE FOR TOP-FIVE, TALK ABOUT YOUR NIGHT: "For us, we had a really good car. Led several laps in the beginning."

Denny Hamlin captured his second Sprint Unlimited victory and was followed to the line by Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick.

After starting on pole, Denny Hamlin would lead the most laps and worked his way to the front at the end of the Sprint Unlimited to pick up the win. It marks the second time that Hamlin has won the event as he won it in his rookie year in 2006.

"“It looked like it might work out because Matt got down there and got turned, and I thought maybe he’ll stay low, but Tony got turned right and just clipped me and that was it. This race is about aggression, it’s about going out there and just keeping your foot down and racing hard and we all know that there is about a 50 percent chance that this could happen."
