Denny Hamlin achieved his third victory of the season by winning the NASCAR Cup Series Wurth 400 race. This result positions Hamlin alongside Lee Petty with 54 victories in NASCAR history.

Hamlin, driving the No. 11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, passed Kyle Larson during a crucial series of pit stops towards the end of the race. From that moment, he maintained the lead until the end, despite Larson's efforts to overtake him at critical moments.

Larson, who has had an outstanding season, approached Hamlin in the last laps but failed to surpass him. Although he expressed disappointment with the result, he acknowledged the strong performance of his team during the race.
Hamlin's team played an essential role in the victory. Teamwork during pit stops and track strategy were key to maintaining the lead position.

Martin Truex Jr., Hamlin's teammate, also played an important role in the race, leading at various stages and finishing in third place, while Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott completed the top five.
The next race in the series will be on May 5 at Kansas Speedway, where Hamlin will seek to repeat last year's success.
