Summary
Denny Hamlin stunned fans with a gutsy comeback win at Michigan, starting dead last, spinning out mid-race, then dominating the final laps to win by over 11 seconds — tying Kyle Busch for ninth all-time with 63 victories. The emotional win came amid NASCAR’s somber week honoring legends Ned Jarrett and Kyle Busch, with Hamlin dedicating the victory to those lost. Erik Jones took second at his home track, Bubba Wallace third, and Kyle Larson fourth. The race featured big crashes — Tyler Reddick early on, and a late wreck involving Chase Elliott and Christopher Bell — but both drivers walked away. Hamlin now heads into Pocono next weekend, where the Great American Getaway 400 airs live on Prime Video at 3 PM Eastern. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
