LONG POND, Pa.—Denny Hamlin chalked up his record seventh win at Pocono Raceway—“Eight, right?” he quipped—to nothing more than coming out ahead after a hard, respectful duel with Kyle Larson over the furious final laps.
Hamlin’s take: His Toyota held firm in the middle lane while Larson’s Chevrolet ran out of room on the outside when it got choked in a tight aerodynamic situation and sailed into the wall.
