The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series HighPoint.com 400 is finally done and dusted. The 21st race of the season started at 2:30 pm ET on Sunday (July 23) and lasted for three hours, 21 minutes and four seconds. The race took place at the Pocono Raceway, with a total of 36 entries.
Denny Hamlin, driving the #11 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing, clinched his second win of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season under caution.
Denny Hamlin emerged victorious on a late restart with seven laps to go, when he bump-and-go passed Kyle Larson in a neck-to-neck battle on the exit of Turn 1. Hamlin pushed Larson tight up the racetrack and into the outside wall to complete the pass, leaving Larson and the Pocono crowd angry.
The win marked Hamlin's 50th career Cup Series victory and seventh at Pocono Raceway, making him the all-time winningest driver at the venue.
Meanwhile, Tyler Reddick finished runner-up, followed by Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick, Ty Gibbs (R) in the top-five. Christopher Bell, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Harrison Burton, Erik Jones, and last year’s winner of the event Chase Elliott completed the top 10.
