Hamlin notches 50th career Cup win, while Toyota gets its 600th in NASCAR competition
Off the track, Kyle Larson and Highpoint.com 400 winner Denny Hamlin are friends, but that friendship became strained Sunday in the NASCAR Cup race’s closing laps at Pocono Raceway.
Larson says that because the two are friends off the track Sunday’s incident makes it “shitty and awkward.” “I’m going to stand my ground next time,” Hamlin said. “I’m not here to defend anything. I put both those guys, the 48 and 5, in an aero situation.” “I knew once he got the lead and it was green, there was no way I was going to go around him, so I backed off and just waited, tried not to burn up my shit for a restart later because he knows how to put you in a situation to just kill your car.
