Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race was perhaps the most competitive and entertaining of the 2023 season and winner Denny Hamlin believes the track deserves most of the credit.Since the debut of the Next Gen car last season in Cup, it has seen its best racing on intermediate tracks but Sunday’s race at Kansas Speedway was especially captivating.
Yes, there were a couple of rounds of green-flag pit stops on Sunday which jumbled the leaders but the vast majority of the official passes for the lead were done under green flag conditions and on the track. “This is just a perfect race track for this race car. The match between the car, the tire and the race track, it’s just a perfect match,” explained, who earned his win of the 2023 season. “That’s why you saw today really nobody running away from the field.
On the final lap, Hamlin again got near Larson off Turn 2 and nudged Larson’s No. 5 Chevrolet in the left-rear, which knocked Larson into the wall.
