“This is a team win, for sure,” Hamlin told Fox after the win. “This trophy needs to go to each one of these pit crew members. They just did an amazing job. They’ve been killing it all year.”

Shell Pennzoil-sponsored driver Joey Logano finished second. HendrickCars.com sponsored driver Kyle Larson finished third.

The Top 3 drivers each had a different manufacturer. Hamlin drove a Toyota to Victory Lane.

Then, Logano drove a Ford to his second-place finish. Larson drove his Chevrolet to a third-place finish.

“Just got beat out of the pits,” Truex told Fox. “I don’t know, (Hamlin) jumped the start and just used me up in Turn 1. Definitely sucks. Good solid day. Another car capable of winning.”
