Denny Hamlin outlasted Kyle Larson in a one-on-duel to the finish to win Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover (Del.) Motor Speedway.

Hamlin, who led all but 11 of the final 147 laps, got beat by Larson on pit road on their final green flag pit stop but reclaimed it on the ensuing restart. Larson was able to cut Hamlin’s lead to under a second with 40 of 400 laps to go, fell back a pit and put on one final charge over the last 10 laps before Hamlin held him off by 0.256 seconds to earn his third win of the 2024 season.

Stage 1 Truex claimed the Stage 1 win under caution over William Byron when Brad Keselowski had a tire go down and spun with two laps remaining. Tyler Reddick was third, Blaney fourth and Larson rounded out the top five. Stage 2 Larson came out the leader from a round of green flag pit stops and held off Bowman by 0.870 seconds to take the Stage 2 win. Hamlin was third, Truex fourth and Elliott ended up fifth.
