Denny Hamlin won the AdventHealth 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway. The race was intense, with Hamlin and Kyle Larson battling for the lead after a restart on Lap 221 of 267. On the final lap, Hamlin made slight contact with Larson’s Chevrolet, causing Larson to hit the outside wall and allowing Hamlin to take the checkered flag.
Despite finishing in second place, Larson recovered after the incident and finished the race just over one second behind Hamlin. However, some fans were unhappy with the way Hamlin won the race and booed him as he exited his car at the finish line.
