Fast Daytona 500 Practice Hamlin was fastest in opening practice for the Daytona 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway Friday afternoon. He turned a fast lap of 197.476 mph. Impact This practice session saw a lot of manufacturer grouped cooperation. As the teams ran segregated in multi-car drafts, the leader board would change throughout. A brigade of Toyotas would end up on top with Hamlin showing the way. He'd get a good push from Erik Jones and Christopher Bell to earn the fastest lap of the session. Hamlin is a three-time Daytona 500 winner, and never to be underestimated in this race.
