Cup Series – Hamlin Takes the Win

Denny Hamlin made a late move to take the checkered flag in Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400, leading just a handful of laps but timing it perfectly to grab the victory. Chase Briscoe continued his strong qualifying run with another pole, and William Byron stayed near the front, but it was Hamlin who came away with the big prize.

Saturday’s Truck race was a wild one, going into triple overtime before Stewart Friesen finally took the win, ending a long drought without a victory. Rookie Luke Fenhaus showed promise with his first career Truck pole, and Carson Hocevar led the most laps but had a penalty that slowed his finish.
