Denny Hamlin Wins Goodyear 400 at Darlington

Denny Hamlin secured his second consecutive NASCAR Cup Series victory at the Goodyear 400 in Darlington, marking his 56th career win. Hamlin's strategic pit stop during the final caution allowed him to overtake race leader William Byron, who had dominated much of the race by leading 243 laps. The race was marked by a pivotal moment when Kyle Larson spun out, triggering a caution that reshuffled the leaderboard and impacted Ryan Blaney, who finished fifth. Meanwhile, 23XI Racing's Bubba Wallace was implicated in the incident with Larson, which was highlighted in a conversation between Ryan Blaney and 23XI co-owner Michael Jordan. Kyle Larson underwent a pit crew change post-race, as Hendrick Motorsports sought to improve pit stop performance.
