The first practice session ahead of the 2025 Daytona 500 is now in the books and it was Denny Hamlin in his #11 Toyota who came out on top.

The Joe Gibbs Racing star and 23XI Racing co-owner completed a total of 19 laps throughout the session, with his fastest time of 48.005 seconds good enough to lead the charts heading into qualifying tonight.

We mention 23XI Racing because the man who finished the session in second was Bubba Wallace in the #23 Toyota, setting a time of 48.150 seconds — 0.145 seconds behind Hamlin.

Ty Gibbs, Chandler Smith and John Hunter Nemechek rounded out the top five in this morning's session.

Logano ended the session having completed ten laps but only set a fastest time of 49.339 seconds. Reddick, meanwhile, finished the session in 40th, setting just three laps in total, the quickest of which was clocked at 49.604 seconds.
