Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images Denny Hamlin won the Daytona 500 for the second-straight year and the third time overall with the second-closest finish at the Great American Race. The finish of the race was marred by an ugly wreck in which the leader, Ryan Newman, was spun out, hitting the wall hard and then flipping into the air. Newman's car eventually landed on its roof with parts of the car in flames. Newman was eventually removed from the car and taken directly to a local hospital.
