Denny Hamlin closed the Cinderella of Nascar for younger Mentee with enormous regret.

Ty Dillon – This is the name that currently dominates Nascar’s headlines. The ‘Cinderella’ character of the in-season tournament has had a roller coaster ride in the last four races. From overthrowing 56-racing Cup-Race winner Denny Hamlin to masterful movement of Alex Bowman in the way in Sonoma, Dillon’s actions are priceless. As he goes to the final round, a cup series rival is mainly rooted against him.

Denny Hamlin defended his crown on Dover Motor Speedway and won a chaotic race. Although he could beat himself on the back for overcoming a weather delay of 56 minutes and twins of overtime, Hamlin was not satisfied.

Denny Hamlin makes an inverted shot

Well, Ty Dillon first made the first shot, on Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Kaulig Racing driver was linked to Denny Hamlin in the first round of the Bracket Challenge. In a crash of 22 cars that unfolded in round 70, most fan-favorite racers, including Hamlin, were wiped away. Dillon, on the other hand, came out with a fascinating 8th place. He continued this streak and wiped Brad Keselowski and Alex Bowman in the following two rounds. Then Dover came by. Dillon had to set up a solid fight against John Hunter Nemechek until the very last round. Both have tackled the weather challenges, restart and strategies for late race, but Dillon prevailed.

On the other hand, Ty Gibbs defeated Tyler Reddick by closing a 5th place. Now the last round is waiting for Indianapolis Motor Speedway with the fight between Gibbs and Dillon. And Denny Hamlin Wortel for just one ty: “I am all TY now … I was not this week, but it seems that he has turned Tyler off. So let’s go with Ty Gibbs.” At the same time, however, Hamlin could not help, but took care of his wounds of the crash in Atlanta, who drove his dream of a million dollars. He took a shot on Ty Dillon: “He made it to the final … you know what that tells me, although I had passed in Atlanta, how easy was my journey to the final.”

Well, the actions of Ty Dillon during the Dover Cup Series -Race also made no impression on Denny Hamlin. During the Green-Flag pit stops around round 205, Dillon was “Cut it off” And “Him in the S -“ According to Hamlin’s radio. At that moment Dillon desperately tried to race Nemechek and stay on the main round. But that was like the happy dog, so Hamlin spotted about the general result of Dillon: “Where is he ready? 20!” Hamlin continued that Indianapolis might be difficult, although Dillon finished 19th and Ty Gibbs finished 23rd last year. “Listen, I get carrot for him personally (it’s a good story), yes, especially that the worst seed is. But I think he needs some help in Indy. He needs some help, it’s just an unorthodox, that kind of track. It will be interesting to see how it plays. But I’m root for Ty Gibbs.”

Denny Hamlin is clearly not that cheerful about the progress of Ty Dillon. Part of his mood is in the tough race that he ended on Sunday.

Looking back on a wild challenge

Yes, Denny Hamlin was the defensive winner of Dover. However, it was hardly a cakewalk for him during the 2025 race. The majority of the day it seemed that Chase Elliott would claim his second victory of the season, causing a race-best 238 out of 407 laps. Hamlin could only beat him during a cycle of pit stops, when he took the lead over his teammate, Christopher Bell. A red flag of 56 minutes as a result of weather strategies of the weather, and the rivals of Hamlin did not leave any stone undisturbed. Chase Briscoe mainly noticed, because he was even newer tires. He pushed Hamlin on the last two laps sprint to the checkered flag.

Denny Hamlin ran his extremely ambitious teammate from door to door on the white flag round, with their cars even light contact. In the end, Hamlin’s no. 11 JGR Toyota Camry was able to travel and erase Chase Brisbo’s no. 19, on the way to a victory of .310 seconds. Nevertheless, Hamlin was exhausted by the end: “It went pretty well for the rain, and then clearly had to pass a few restart there. It was difficult, those guys gave me a run for it, no doubt about it.” He only became the 13th driver in the job history to win successive races. Hamlin said: “This is a place where I had not been very good in the first half of my career, and then to have back-to-back (victories) here in recent years is great.”

The time of Denny Hamlin was the victor, although his spirit got stuck with the missed challenge of a million dollars. Let’s see if his preference styer comes through the final round.
