His takeover in the 255th lap was the right one. Vying for the victory against Kevin Harvick (Stewart-Haas Racing – Ford), Brad Keselowski (Team Penske – Ford) or Martin Truex Jr (Joe Gibbs Racing – Toyota), Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs Racing) carried out the maneuver decisive on Harvick with 12 laps from goal last night in Kansas, to seal his 5th victory in 2020 in the Nascar Cup Series.
What put an end to a bad series for the driver of the Toyota Camry n ° 11 since the Indianapolis event. “I don’t know if we had the best car, but we certainly have a car capable of a top 3,” analyzes the winner of the day.
I’ve seen Harvick struggle with the rear, and usually when you go through that you can’t run on the high line, and it was an advantage for us to be able to get that momentum. “
Hamlin finished ahead of Keselowski, Truex Jr and Harvick, when Erik Jones (Joe Gibbs Racing) completed the top 5. Alex Bowman’s best Chevrolet Camaro (Hendrick Motorsports) finished only 8th. The two big losers of the evening remain Jimmie Johnson (Hendrick Motorsports) and Joey Logano (Team Penske), the second cited being at the origin of a collective collision involving Johnson but also Austin Dillon (Richard Childress Racing), winner in Kentucky last week.
