Denny Hamlin holds off Larson, delivers at Dover for third victory of season
|
Denny Hamlin essentially called his shot this week, saying on his popular weekly podcast that he absolutely expected to win Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Würth 400 at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway. And the veteran backed it up – holding off championship leader Kyle Larson by a slight 0.256 seconds to claim his third win of the season and 54th of his career – tying the legend Lee Petty on the all-time wins list.
Hamlin’s No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was scored ahead of Larson when the caution flag flew for a late-race crash on a restart, and he led the final 72 laps. He also got the jump on Larson’s No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on the final restart on Lap 339 of 400, then managed an advantage that was more than two seconds at one point with Larson closing on him.
Larson got as close as two-tenths of a second of Hamlin as they negotiated traffic on the 1-mile Dover track in the closing laps but was unable to get close enough to attempt a pass.
