Denny Hamlin mastered the tire management that dominated Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway and came away with his second consecutive victory at the iconic short track.

Hamlin, who won last fall’s Bristol Night Race, found himself in a much different scenario in Sunday’s race, which was the first spring Bristol event held on the asphalt since 2020. The race has been run on dirt for the past three years. It became clear early that the race would turn into a battle of tricky tire management and strategy.

Stage 1 Gibbs claimed the Stage 1 win over Larson under caution when Kyle Busch spun in Turns 1 and 2 in the final laps. Buescher was third, Keselowski fourth and Nemechek rounded out the top five. William Byron was knocked out of contention early when he hit the wall in the opening 25 laps and broke the toe link in the No. 24 Chevrolet. Stage 2 Gibbs passed Joey Logano with two of 125 laps remaining and held off Keselowski by 0.431 seconds to take the Stage 2 win.
