Joe Gibbs Racing star Denny Hamlin has won the EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway after putting up a stellar defence in double overtime.
Hamlin survived a late charge from his teammate Chase Briscoe on fresher tires to take his fourth Cup Series victory of the season and the 58th of his career, which leaves him sitting alone in 11th on the Cup Series' all-time wins list.
It was an eventful afternoon at Dover, with the action having been halted twice due to rain, including a lengthy delay with 13 laps to go. When the action did get back underway, the No. 11 kept its cool out front, surviving separate challenges from both Christopher Bell and Briscoe to ensure he was the driver to take the black and white checkered flag.
Briscoe ultimately came home in second, but Bell finished way down in 18th following a spin when challenging Hamlin for the lead and a subsequent speeding penalty.
Meanwhile, it was a disappointing day in the end for Chase Elliott. Despite winning stage one and leading the race for 238 laps in total, the Hendrick Motorsports star could only manage sixth in the end, with the likes of Alex Bowman, Kyle Larson and even Ty Gibbs having got ahead of him in the final laps.
Bubba Wallace, Ryan Blaney, Chris Buescher and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top 10 at Dover, and elsewhere, Ty Dillon and Ty Gibbs advanced in the In-Season Challenge, with the two drivers now set to battle it out for $1 million at Indianapolis next weekend.
With all of that said, let’s take a look at the race results in full below.
