Ricky Stenhouse Jr., the winner of this year's Daytona 500, unveiled his winning plaque on the Daytona 500 Champions Walk of Fame on Friday. Stenhouse's victory in February marked the longest-ever running of the 500-mile race, going for 530 miles. As part of the honors, each winner of the race receives a plaque with their signature and a hand and footprint.

For Stenhouse, winning the Daytona 500 was a dream come true and a bucket list item for every driver. He made a final push in the last lap to secure the victory and is hoping to continue his success at Daytona this weekend in the Coke Zero Sugar 400.

Stenhouse has already locked up a spot in the playoffs and is aiming to become the first driver since 2013 to win at both Daytona races in the same year. He expressed his excitement about the win, saying, "You know, as soon as you win the race you know how big it is going in and you don't realize how much goes along with winning this race."

As the final race of the cup series before the playoffs, the Coke Zero Sugar 400 will determine the 16-driver playoff positioning. Stenhouse is already guaranteed a spot, but he is determined to make a statement and continue his winning streak at Daytona.
