CONCORD, NC - Denny Hamlin overcame a mid-race uncontrolled tire penalty to hold off Kyle Larson and Joey Logan for the win in Saturday's Hisense 4K TV 300 NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
“It was a second opportunity obviously," Hamlin said of the last caution that was brought out by Erik Jones, his JGR teammate, blowing a tire. "I was hoping for that caution there at the end and we got it and we were able to get four tires on this Hisense Camry and took off."
NASCAR officials claimed the restart after Hamlin's penalty was fair because Hamlin dropped down to the bottom groove but the cars behind Hamlin didn’t pass him. Hamlin restarted 13th.
Hamlin led 76 laps for the win, Logano led 58 and Larson led 46.
Larson finished 6th after hitting the wall hard coming to the checkered flag.
"Disappointed, but ... used to it by now," Larson said.
Austin Dillon came in second, Joey Logano in third, Cole Custer in fourth and Regan Smith came home fifth to round out the Top-5.
