Chase Elliott grabs his second win of the season, holding off a hard-charging Denny Hamlin in front of the first Texas sellout crowd in over 15 years.That packed house sparks a real debate: does Texas deserve a second race again?

Todd Gilliland gets loose and collects race leader Christopher Bell, while Kyle Larson backs it into the fence solo in Turn 2.Texas proved once again it’s one of the toughest tracks to tame—and Elliott showed up with elite speed when it mattered most.The crew also tackles the controversy: was Kyle Busch’s retaliation on John Hunter Nemechek penalty-worthy?
