Hamlin’s Hair-Raising Victory at Nashville

Denny Hamlin stunned fans with a gutsy, last-lap win at the Cracker Barrel 400 after starting on pole, getting penalized to the back, and clawing his way back through chaos — including a brutal battle with his own teammates — to claim his 62nd career victory and Toyota’s first at Nashville. With 31 lead changes and a weather delay, the race was pure NASCAR drama, capped by a tribute to Kyle Busch. Bell and Briscoe’s fierce duel opened the door for Hamlin, while Stenhouse and van Gisbergen shined in the top five. Reddick and Elliott’s late crash didn’t shake Tyler Reddick’s championship lead as the series heads to Michigan. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
