Dale Earnhardt Jr. Wins The 2014 NASCAR Daytona 500

Dale Earnhardt Jr. survived the longest rain delay in Daytona 500 history and a spate of accidents to score a hugely popular and emotional win at Daytona International Speedway Sunday night. Earnhardt dominated the final third of the race to score his second Daytona 500 victory and win for the first time in 55 races. The third-generation driver prevailed in a green-white-checkered finish to bring home NASCAR's biggest prize. Second was Denny Hamlin in a Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, followed by Brad Keselowski, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, making it three Hendrick Chevrolets in the top five.
