Denny Hamlin did his job to go with four laps by William Bayron and had enough gas to roam and win on Sunday’s Firekeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan.
Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota number 11 caught Bayran’s number 24 Chevrolet with four circuits on a two-mile track, but the hendric motorcysts driver ran out of the gas coming out 28th and ran out of the gas coming on the white flag.
Hamlin defeated Chris Busher for 1.09 seconds for his third cup series win this season and from the third to MIS. His last victory came in June 2011.
JGR team companions Ti Gibbs and Bubba Walece were the third and fourth. Kyle Larsen finished fifth.
Bayaran removed the lead from Polester Chess Brisco at Lap 12 of Stage 1, but Busher passed the Bayran at Lap 36 of the 45-Lap segment and won its first phase of 2025.
Bayaran finished second, while Hamilin, Brisco and Josh Berry completed the top five in the event-free stage.
The first caution for the reason was waved at 60 when Noah Gragson and John Hunter Nemechec were running inside the top 20, moving back on the backstream to re -bend the ground, but seven laps later occurred in a hard debris 2.
Last week’s winner Ryan Blani riding in bottom lane exploited the No. 41 of the coal custer, causing a mess with Alex Boman’s number 48 Chevrolet, which violently crashed nasal for the wall after Caster’s Ford was clipped by Ford. This inspired a red-flag position for cleanup.
As Stage 2 passed his end, Bulni slapped the wall on his own in number 12 Ford and dropped the speedway down, an unfortunate fifth caution for Christopher Bell, which was lying shortly before the Blaney’s accident.
The closing laps of the stage showed an enthusiastic battle between Bayran, Radic, Austin Cyndric and Carson Hoswar. Byron made the winner pass on the final lap to win the stage, while the native of Cyndric Michigan was able to place Hoswar in second place.
The Hosavor took the point on lap 152, but the Spire Motorsports Driver faced a flat left rear tire with 19 circuits, turning under the leadership of Bayran. Hoswar finished 29th.
