De🍌nny Hamlin takes his first race win of the season in an action-packed Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Across the 500 laps, there were 54 different leaders.

Hamlin's team-maꦓte, Martin Truex Jr, finished in second place with Brad Kese♈lowski in third place.

Instead of just a race of 500 laps, the event in Bristol turned into a battle for survival. The drivers faced challenges with tyre wear around the oval and had to carefully manage theirꦑ pace due to a lack of rear grip throughout the r♔ace.

Due to the ch💫allenge of tyre wear, NASCAR officials allowed Goodyear to supply each team with extra tyres to help the driver's race.

Despite♔ the bad tyre wear, Ty Gibbs managed to get the best out of his car and tyres when it mattered. The 21-year-old won both openಌing stages today and collected 20 points from the first two stages.
