Despite putting in a brilliant performance in the 67th edition of the Great American Race, Denny Hamlin failed to finish the Daytona 500. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was leading the pack on the very last lap. However, he made contact with Austin Cindric of Team Penske and saw his dream of winning four Daytona 500 wins shatter in front of his eyes.
