Hamlin, who led all but 11 of the final 147 laps, got beat by Larson on pit road on their final green flag pit stop but reclaimed it on the ensuing restart. Larson was able to cut Hamlin’s lead to under a second with 40 of 400 laps to go, fell back a pit and put on one final charge over the last 10 laps before Hamlin held him off by 0.256 seconds to earn his third win of the 2024 season.
Stage 1 Truex claimed the Stage 1 win under caution over William Byron when Brad Keselowski had a tire go down and spun with two laps remaining. Tyler Reddick was third, Blaney fourth and Larson rounded out the top five. Stage 2 Larson came out the leader from a round of green flag pit stops and held off Bowman by 0.870 seconds to take the Stage 2 win. Hamlin was third, Truex fourth and Elliott ended up fifth.

Late caution changes outcome of Cup race at RichmondMartin Truex Jr. dominated the Cup race at Richmond, but a late-caution forced the event into overtime and completely changed the outcome. Truex's Joe Gibbs Racing team-mate Denny Hamlin won the race off pitroad, and then held on in the two-lap dash to the checkered flag. Truex finished fourth and was furious, claiming Hamlin 'used me up' and called attention to a potential restart violation by the driver of the No. 11 Toyota. It appeared that Hamlin went early, but NASCAR did not call it. Joey Logano finished 2nd, and Kyle Larson 3rd. Despite the disappointing outcome, Truex extended his points lead to 14pts over Larson. Now the series heads to Martinsville, where Ryan Blaney won the most recent event in the fall. Larson is the defending winner of the spring event. This week in the news, Richard Childress Racing made a crew chief change, pairing Justin Alexander back with Austin Dillon. Joey Gase was fined $5,000 for the viral bumper-throwing incident during the Xfinity race.
