Denny Hamlin, driving the #11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, won his first race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup season, the Cook Out 400 at Martinsville, in a dominating fashion.

Hamlin, who started from fifth position, dominated the race, winning Stage 2 and leading the race for 274 of the last 275 laps, with the only exception being a lap led by polesitter and his teammate Christopher Bell, who raced door-to-door with #11 after the final restart on Lap 326 of 400.

The 44-year-old Tampa, Florida, native emerged victorious when he grabbed the lead from Chase Elliott on Lap 123 and never looked back to clinch his sixth career Martinsville win. He crossed the finish line by an impressive margin of 4.617 seconds ahead of Bell to take the checkered flag. The win also marked the 55th of his Cup Series career.

Christopher Bell, who started on pole, finished as runner-up, followed by Bubba Wallace, Chase Elliott, and Kyle Larson in the top five. Ross Chastain, Ryan Preece, the defending series champion Joey Logano, Chase Briscoe, and Todd Gilliland completed the top 10.
