On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in Florida, at a speed of approximately 200 miles per hour, NASCAR superstar Denny Hamlin beat Martin Truex Jr. in what is being hailed as the closest win in the history of the Daytona 500.
We’ve all heard the term “photo finish,” but rarely has there been a situation that exemplifies the true meaning of the idiom as perfectly as this one. Watch as Hamlin pulls ahead of Truex Jr. by what the announcer approximate to be “about four inches.”
Even those who don’t love NASCAR have to be impressed and thrilled by an ending like that at The Great American Race.
