NASCAR Cup Series

Camry driver Denny Hamlin won his first career Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday and earned the first victory in the Daytona 500 for Toyota.

With a late surge, Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Jimmy John’s Chevrolet SS, finished in fourth place to lead five Team Chevy drivers in the top 10 in the 58th running of the Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season-opener at Daytona International Speedway (DIS) on Sunday.

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Express Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Finishing Position: 1st - How did you decide to make your move for the win? “I don’t remember it honestly. I mean, I just remember pulling up in front of the 4 (Kevin Harvick) and him giving me a push and not letting off when he was pushing and ultimately that was the push to the victory for us."

The driver of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota edged out the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota of Martin Truex Jr. by 11 one-thousanths of a second to win the 58th running of the Great American Race.

GREG BIFFLE – No. 16 KFC Ford Fusion – “It was a pretty rough day for us. We got a flat trying to make the outside groove push to the front and couldn’t get our lap back and then later the 10 came across our nose there. It was unfortunate but it happens. I don’t know if she was trying to block me or didn’t know I was there but it happens. Tough day for sure. I am proud of my guys for all their work this week. We had a pretty good week minus these issues today.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. topped the chart for the final practice session before the big race tomorrow. The driver of the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet was the fastest in the final Daytona 500 practice session with a time of 45.655 and a speed of 197.131 mph.

Today marked the final practice session before tomorrow’s Daytona 500. Here are what some Ford drivers had to say:

NASCAR released rule changes to the 2016 member conduct guidelines Friday night in an effort to clarify infractions and their corresponding penalties.

Chevrolet is the most successful manufacturer to put rubber to the road at Daytona International Speedway. The 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series kicks off with the ‘super bowl’ of racing – the Daytona 500; and Chevrolet enters another season, hungry to win on the track and in the showroom.

Ryan Blaney, driver of the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion, was the fastest Ford in today’s second practice session at Daytona International Speedway. Blaney, who was sixth overall, drafted with Joey Logano and Trevor Bayne for 10 laps before calling it a day.
