Denny Hamlin won the 58th running Daytona 500 Feb. 21 in a historic win by a few inches.
Hamlin surged past Martin Truex Jr. winning by 0.01 of a second; making it the closets finish in Daytona 500 history.
“I don’t know what happened,” Hamlin told the New York Times Sunday. “I can’t figure it out. It’s the pinnacle of my career, for sure. There is no better feeling than I have right now. I didn’t know we had won, but I knew it was close.”
Hamlin held the lead in the first 94 of 155 laps in the race.
