Leads Opening Daytona 500 Practice Hamlin was fastest in opening practice for the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday morning. He turned a fast lap of 187.480 mph.

Impact This opening session would see a lot of mock qualifying / single car runs to get into shape for Wednesday night's pole qualifying session. As the practice progressed we would see some limited drafting and that would produce the best lap of the session. Hamlin would lead the way with a pack of Toyotas with a lap in excess of 187 mph. He would edge Bubba Wallace for the fastest lap of the practice. Hamlin is a three-time Daytona 500 victor and he looks hungry for a fourth Harley J. Earl Trophy.
