Hamilton sends his best to Darrell Wallace before Daytona 500

Four-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will be rooting for Darrell Wallace Jr. in today's epic Daytona 500 event.

The Mercedes driver posted a message on Twitter, sending his best wishes to the 24-year-old NASCAR driver, one of the blossoming personalities of the series, who will become the first African-American to compete in the Daytona 500 since Wendell Scott in 1969.

Wallace competes full-time in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, driving the #43 Chevrolet Camaro for Richard Petty Motorsports.

The blue-ribbon race which takes place at 2.30pm local time - or 7.30pm in the UK - will also see Danica Patrick line up for the very last time in a NASCAR race.

Hendrick Motorsports Alex Bowman will lead the field at the start from Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin and Team Penske's Ryan Blaney.
