NASCAR Kansas Notebook: There was more to Denny Hamlin's win that just a late nudge.
Kyle Larson in the No. 5 Chevy was the top lap leader in Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway, setting the pace on seven occasions for 85 laps, but on the final circuit Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota tagged Larson’s Chevrolet just enough to get it squirrely. Larson regained control, but Hamlin snatched the lead and his first victory since the Coca-Cola 600 last May at Charlotte Motor Speedway.Larson admitted Hamlin was a “little better” than him at the end of the race.
In the 400-lap race’s first Stage, which covered 80 laps, Byron hit the wall twice and received a speeding penalty. He went three laps down, and at one point, was two laps down for 53 laps. However, he worked steadily throughout the event to regain the lost laps. When the fifth of 11 yellow flags waved on lap 148, Byron received the free pass, which returned him to the lead lap.
The left-front wheel came off Briscoe’s Ford as he drove down Kansas Speedway’s pit road. The tire rolled over to the wall and was retrieved by one of Noah Gragson’s crew members. Since it occurred during a green-flag stop and the car never left pit road, Briscoe was assessed a pass-thru penalty. “Our cars are really knife-edge right now,” Almirola said. “We’re having a lot of trouble getting our cars balanced. There is such a small window to get the balance where we need it to be that it just makes it really difficult to race. We can be really right, we can be really loose, but we can’t get it in the window where we need it to be—consistent.”
