Darlington, SC – Denny Hamlin He did his job so his crew could make his most hairy stop in perfect time.
Hamlin came to the pit after the last caution in the third place and told himself to hit every mark, and then let his people take over.
And this was done by a racing group Joe Gibbs and pulled out the perfect winning moment that Hamlin sent out with the leadership. Took over at the final restart and postponed William Byron Win Goodyear 400 on Sunday.
It was Hamlin’s 56. The victory of NASCAR, his fifth on the Darlington Raceway and his second straight this season
“When you think about 56 victories, it’s a huge problem,” said Gibbs, Hamlin’s long -time car owner.
Hamlin said he was hanging all the time, because Byron and others looked as if they could pull out the victory. Instead, Hamlin waited his time and then threw himself as he broke away during the green-white controlled surface.
“I can still do it, I can do it at a high level and I look forward to winning many races this year,” Hamlin said.
Hamlin won the second week after his success in Martinsville.
Hamlin chose an outer lane for the final restart and fired on the lead and pulled away from the leader of the Byron and Nascar Victory Christopher Bell.
Hamlin looked as if he had a strong goal but not a victory as Ryan Blaney has passed Tyler reddick for leading with three rounds remaining. But a moment later, Kyle Larson Start the ultimate caution and other wheels.
It is time for Hamlin’s Joe Gibbs Racing Pit Crew shining because it quickly and head.
Byron, who led the first 243 laps, was third with the Hamlin team JGR Bell.
“Right now there are two people I really love, my crew Pit and Kyle Larson,” Hamlin said on the bikes of the boos from those in the stalls.
Reddick was the fourth and Blaney was fifth. The rest of the 10 best finishers were Chris Buescher, Ross chastain, Chase Elliott, Those gibbs and Kyle Busch.
Hamlin attributed the last two victories to his crew.
“The crew just did a wonderful job,” he said. “They won it last week, won this week. It’s all about them.”
Blay thought it was clear to his first victory in Darlington after he got late from Reddick. When he saw the flag of caution for Larson’s rotation, he said he thought, “Oh, no! I thought he won the race.”
Just as Byron, who was trying to become the first driver NASCAR in almost 25 years to lead every round on his way to victory. During the last round of the green flag stops, he mixed up the ranking and could not recover.
“It seemed to be a perfect race and we should have run every round,” he said.
But as soon as we “lost control, it was too late to return there,” Byron said.
Bad day
Kyle Larson, who won the South 500 in 2023, had great hopes for the second victory in Darlington. But he slipped into the inner wall that came from the second turn on three laps and went directly to the garage, where his team worked for the next few hours to get him back to the track. Larson returned to bike 164 after 161 laps from the pace. Larson ended up next to the last 37th place.
