2010 Daytona 500 – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nAfter three hours, 47 minutes and 16 seconds of racing that saw 52 lead changes among 21 different drivers over a record 520 miles of Daytona 500<\/a> racing, Jamie McMurray emerged the winner. McMurray, piloting the Ganassi-Earnhardt-Sabates Racing No. 1 Chevrolet<\/a>, led only the final two laps of the race, which is a record low for a Daytona 500 winner.<\/p>\n

\n
It’s unreal… It’s just unbelievable. I can’t explain it. To be where I was last year <\/em>(unemployed and without a team) and to have Chip [Ganassi] and Felix [Sabates] take a chance on me… It means a lot to me and what a way to pay them back… It’s just very emotional.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For those keeping track, this was the 33-year-old McMurray’s fourth career Cup win, and he narrowly beat out Dale Earnhardt Jr by just .119 seconds after passing him for the lead on lap 206. The rest of the top five was rounded out by Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer and David Reutimann.<\/p>\n
