Kenseth, Hamlin favourites at crash-hit Daytona


DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (Reuters) - Joe Gibbs Racing team mates Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin surged into the roles of favourites for the Daytona 500 on Sunday after roaring to victories in preliminary races at Daytona Speedway.

While Kenseth and Hamlin claimed the spotlight in their Toyotas, concerns grew that the Speedway could be turned into a collision course in NASCAR's season-opening spectacular as pack-racing has led to crashes that have wrecked 20 cars this week.
