Hamlin Wins Dover After Storm Delay

Heavy rain at Dover Motor Speedway led to the cancellation of all practice and qualifying, with the starting lineup determined by a performance metric and Chase Elliott on pole. Despite a late-race storm causing an hour-long delay with 14 laps to go, NASCAR completed the full 400 laps. Denny Hamlin won after a dramatic finish, marking his fourth victory of the season while managing off-track legal issues. Chase Briscoe finished second, and Elliott, after leading much of the race and overcoming a pit issue, finished sixth and took over the regular-season points lead. Joey Logano became the youngest driver to reach 600 career NASCAR Cup Series starts during the event. The race also included in-season tournament matchups featuring Tyler Reddick and Ty Gibbs.
