American race car driver Jamie McMurray has won the Daytona 500 after holding off compatriot Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the NASCAR season opener in Florida.
The race was delayed for track repairs twice throughout the course of the day.
The first delay was for an hour and 40 minutes with 78 laps remaining while workers repaired a hole that had developed in the track. The hole reappeared 39 laps later, forcing another 45-minute delay.
