This is Hamlin’s hometown win and the 53rd of his career. He already won the Food City 500 two races ago and appears to be in the driver’s seat for the NASCAR playoffs.
Logano needed a good finish after a disastrous start to the season. He finished below the top 25 in three of his first seven races. He was 22nd at Bristol and 11th at Circuit of the Americas. A second place finish should boost his confidence heading into Martinsville next week.
Chase Elliott, Christopher Bell, William Byron, Brad Keselowski, Chris Buescher and Tyler Reddick rounded out the top 10.
