Denny Hamlin wins Daytona 500 amid scary crash on final lap | NASCAR ON FOX HIGHLIGHTS

forty patience a vehicle go to race control please welcome this year's grand marshal the 45th president of the United States of America Donald J. Trump the United States Melania Trump International Speedway we love our country and it is truly a Honored to be with you all at the Great American Race, gentlemen, start your engines. I know the crew chiefs are thinking a lot about strategy and execution, but now they know the drivers think they were in that mindset looking at the green flag and then the cautions put those lights on, so now I've been thinking about: " Okay, let's do this to me again." I always just wouldn't start the engine and leave and now they have to do this again. 20 laps on the course arrive at the start/finish. line up a monster warning, some sparks turn for things paltin, pace car temporarily dives into pit road here with Ryan Newman, see immediately jumping in that inside lane to line up three wines midfield Frederika Stenhouse Jr.

Aric Almirola receives a good push from his teammate who comes in second place 3 years later and as you mentioned, we have one who slipped from the bottom. Look, I thought they were saving by grace here on Thursday, change everything, look at Stenhouse's 47 they just made. got to run on the 10 get to the rear bumper on the 13 little wave of the 47 oh, get to the left side of that, you have to be in the center or on the right oh, it almost looks like Stenhouse was going to pop out and try to get by him and maybe he misjudged it made contact turn William Byron this way come four it's ten twenty-two Almirola ty Dillon three wide to the line on stage one pursuit of the winner Elliott Coleman aric almirola Joey Lucas the double zero has

crash

ed here in the NATO, other cars involved as they come to the caution flag, it will be the fourth caution flag of the day, on lap 90, pull away, let's see what happens here on the left of your screen, you can see they are coming in to put you down a lap .

Look at me like Quinn got a little closer than I expected on Almirola's 10 and they just touched each other and ended up turning it into the outside lane, that was almost close for our Ricky Stenhouse 10 made an aggressive move down the backstretch and all three They were open here is when he goes to pass Ryan Blaney's 12 and looks at Stenhouse and the yellow line, makes a big run, goes inside, I think the 12 AB Lane moved down. slightly and I think Stenhouse's 47 tries to avoid them, but when you go under that yellow line you can't go on and hold and you make that pass happen unless they make you go down there and we saw Blaney move to the left, he's up . to NASCAR for my experiences, unless that car is hitting your door below the yellow line, they'll call it that and I think they're hills for trouble, turn for one car, we go green, a Stenhouse pulls into the pits with Hay a lot of damage there and several cars choosing to pit including the chase Elliott Tyler Reddick Ross Chastain is on Brendan Gaughan on pit road.

Continued increases we also saw Ryan Newman up front at the start of this race, we haven't seen him since. 18 laps ago not 17 he's right in the mix he's a former Daytona 500 winner he knows how to do it 2008 winner Newman fighting for the lead let's see the contact you have to think about this in the middle try to break well, there goes and it's Ryan Newman leading them to be Johnson Jersey job hopes in his

final

Daytona 500 another former Daytona 500 one Brad Keselowski trying to win for the first time all wrecked Bubba Wallace aric almirola one of the fastest sports innocent and here's Martin Truex who couldn't get back to the lead group and got wrecked, slows down the penis in a problem with the 419 tire achieved, we are in force under the cost of a 15 to go see the outside line here, see Joey Logano really aggressive with the rear bumper . you have to push it to the two and just before the tent gets there there is a little bit of movement and that little bit of movement we make that contact it makes your car spin that's exactly what happened Brad Keselowski and Aric Almirola's tent that happens right in front of most of the field and it really started with a big push from Joey Logano.

Remember Joey Logano talking on the radio earlier about how you have to tell me when I'm pushing that. car is going to make contact with the car in front of us right there with its teammate, there is our Ford camera on board, this car started rocking back and forth just before making contact with the two hooks, its bumper he spins it oh he hit Alex Bowman and for the second time in less than 10 he ends up getting eliminated a good chance to win the Daytona 5 at the bottom of your screen Sorenson goes to the middle a lot of sparks coming out of that car I think he cut a tire Oh it slid up in front of Timmy Hill every time you see that, but that kind of sparks, basically, that tire has been lowered and now a car is lowered and riding on some steel, maybe the adjuster bracket follow-up bar slammed Sorenson hard against the wall. only textbook car the priests of the race track - car

crash

with two to go there's the Connecticut kids car hello Dylan look 77 right here I knew those cars are going to stop I can see right there me frozen pushes Chastain towards the platform as soon as he goes down the platform, loses control, hard impact against Logano's 22 from Chastain Park.

Oh, sideways, try to fix those kinds of impacts for Logano, it may not be seen and as big as the impact is, we see some of these. other cars because of the damage, but when you get right to the driver's side door and then the passenger side door slams into the wall, those almost Jeff-like pains like the right rear end falls off with all those sparks on The car just took off. I think the car once it got to eighth because the car got a little sideways, tried to correct it and caught the bank and shot the nose, generated some tire contact on Boyer and McDowell and warns we'll try again, so here's Clint Moyer 12 approaching the rear bumper on six Oh actually, maybe it was Boyer, he had some contact from behind from the 34 McDowell sent it towards Haley, in fact he knew they would make contact.

He wasn't sure where that contact came from. We saw this the other night when the same two cars were that maybe it was the crash, but one of the similar things where they came to the line and spun the tires with a little bit of contact, Ryan Newman, that was Ryan Newman spinning. the tires and William Byron and they both went off the track while trying to accelerate under the green flag look those eyes are dead ahead we're looking at spirits Ryan Blaney can right now want to notice him they separate a little A little bit on the backstretch through the fast pusher Lots of help so Neuman can't get close enough to push him.

Now you have to be careful about getting too far away and letting the big race go down while you're on your side. On the other hand, it's good, but here comes Newman, Nick runs, Danny put the block on him, great job, he didn't cause the accident on that block. The white flag under the green, the next black will finish the race and Newman is there. Newman's Catholic on his rear bumper just like he did. an accident behind the chase Elliott is still upset here they come and here he comes planning to have a Newman back to Blaney big rock coming here out today no one in front not even Denny Hamlin could do what Ryan Blaney can do now here comes a push from Denny Hamlin well this isn't over yet Ryan Newman comes out of turn four for the last time gliding outwards inwards here comes Hamlin on the outside hits the wall in the air goats upside down and his shower of sparks comes across the line and Unofficial scoring stops between Hamlin and Blaney as to who crossed the finish line first.

final

lap ahead of Newman and Ryan Blaney, yes, Ryan Blaney gets to his rear bumper, nothing Denny Hamlin can do but try to get right into Brian Blaney's rear bumper, which makes an excellent Newman's work makes a pretty good run until turn four, but now comes a great run from Ryan Blaney being pushed by Denny Hamlin, he tries to go to the outside and then to the inside they look like closed bumpers and puts Ryan Newman upside down. goes Corey Lajoie comes making contact just lifting Newman's car and stops on its roof here is the second closest finish in Daytona 500 history Denny Hamlin the winner in both this time is Ryan Blaney finishing second Blaney tried La top tried to go down.

Helping him out of the car Denny Hamlin and his team have reason to celebrate at Daytona here's little Jamie there's a little celebration but it's a moderate victory path right now Denny is a racing driver right now the ups and downs how? You describe this style of racing, the adrenaline and bravery it takes.

Yeah, I mean, I think sometimes we take for granted how safe the cars are, but you know the number one that we were praying for, Ryan, works really well with Ryan throughout this whole race. You know, obviously they changed you right there, but I'm proud of an entire FedEx team. I don't know what to say, it's so unexpected. I mean, you know I knew they were going to come with a big run there. My job was just to make sure that I didn't put a block that was going to destroy me live to run another corner, we got to the bumper of the twelve, I pushed them there and I knew I was going to give it a big run and the run wouldn't end and and obviously we did well in the end, but we're proud of this whole FedEx team, total cocaine, the little big Jordan Brand burger, you know, it's great to have my girls here, it's great to have the team celebrating, you know, back to back, I can't.

I'll even tell you what it means to me, Denny, it doesn't matter what crew chief you have or what rules package or what year it is three times now, what's up with you and this style of racing at Daytona? Yeah, I mean, you know I just feel like I'm a student of the game. I never stopped learning and you know, trying to figure out, you know where I should put myself at the right time and it doesn't always work. I mean, we definitely defied the odds. here for the last eight years at the Daytona 500, but you know, I just trust my instincts and so far they've been good for me, so I can't do it without the car that allows me to do it. make those records winning news congratulations on your 500 in a row thank you team 11 celebrates with a second straight victory our congratulations to Denny Hamlin and Joe Gibbs Racing next on Fox 911 Lone Star and the prodigal son for the best access perspective and personalities in all sports follow Fox Sports on Twitter Facebook Instagram for more great Nascar content on Foxh subscribe to our channel it's somewhere around here
