Today marks 11 days before NASCAR Cup Series drivers compete in the 67th running of the Great American Race. Thanks in part to 54 career wins by Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin, car No. 11 leads the all-time NASCAR Cup Series victory list with 234 triumphs to 200 for the vaunted No. 43. Three of Hamlin’s wins have come in the DAYTONA 500, in 2016, 2019 and 2020. One more victory in NASCAR’s most prestigious race would tie Hamlin with NASCAR Hall of Famer Cale Yarborough for second all-time behind Richard Petty’s record seven DAYTONA 500 wins. In total, the No. 11 car has won the DAYTONA 500 five times; including the three wins by Hamlin, a 1977 win by Cale Yarborough and a 1967 victory by motorsports legend Mario Andretti.

Tune-in to the 2025 DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, February 16 at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
