Hamlin survived pit road misery, a safety violation and a trip to 31st before charging to fifth. Sadly, the championship points went the way of Kyle Larson, because racing is cruel like that.
Christopher Bell nearly stole the show on the final lap, but Chase Briscoe held his nerve, his line and the checkered flag in a Charlotte thriller.
One moment in Turn 2 turned a battle for fifth into a three-car wreck, ending the afternoons of Bubba Wallace, Alex Bowman and William Byron.
The Chase field had a golden opportunity to close on Kyle Larson at Las Vegas. Instead, Larson extended his lead while everyone else stepped on rakes.
The NASCAR divorce is official, and now both sides are talking. Brad Keselowski and RFK Racing addressed their split in Las Vegas, even as the business details remain unresolved.
Brad Keselowski and RFK Racing say they’re going their separate ways. Fair enough. They just need to figure out who gets the marital property.
Larson is the only Chase driver who has performed at an elite level in all four Chase races.
He started 23rd, chased down Kyle Larson and briefly took the lead. Then Chase Briscoe’s Toyota got loose, the wall got involved and his championship hopes took another hit.
Kaden Honeycutt had the fastest truck, the cleanest execution and eventually a 37-point Chase lead. Layne Riggs had two laps to regret everything.
