NASCAR takeaways: Denny Hamlin issues two thank-yous after Darlington win

  • Denny Hamlin won his second consecutive NASCAR Cup Series race Sunday at Darlington Raceway, taking the lead during a late restart.
  • William Byron led a race-high 243 laps but was unable to regain the lead after a Stage 3 pit stop.

Denny Hamlin didn’t unfurl the “11 Against the World” flag Sunday.

This time, the world threw him a lifeline.

With four laps to go in the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, Hamlin was running third. Ryan Blaney had just overtaken Tyler Reddick for the lead.
