Denny Hamlin puts on a clinic to win Cook Out 400 at Martinsville

"(Crew chief) Chris Gayle, all the engineers, the pit crew, everybody really on that wall right there just decided that they were going to come here with a different approach than what we've been over the last few years and it was just amazing," Hamlin told Fox Sports. "The car was great. It did everything I needed it to do. Just so happy to win with Chris and get 55 (wins). It's awesome."

Pole sitter, and Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Christopher Bell was second, with Bubba Wallace, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson rounding out the top five. Ross Chastain, Ryan Preece, Joey Logano, Chase Briscoe and Todd Gilliland completed the top 10.

A year removed from Hendrick Motorsports finishing 1-2-3 with Byron, Larson and Elliott in last year's spring race, Hamlin, Bell and Wallace made it a 1-2-3 for Toyota on Sunday. With his rally to eighth-place after spinning to bring out the race's final caution with 84 laps to go, Logano picked up his first top 10 of the season seven races in.

Other notable finishers include Ryan Blaney in 11th, Kyle Busch in 17th, Byron in 22nd, Bowman in 27th and Josh Berry in 32rd.

Erik Jones finished in 24th, but was later disqualified after his car failed to meet the minimum weight requirement in the post-race inspection.

The eighth race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season will take place at Darlington Raceway on April 6. The 293-lap race, which is part of NASCAR Throwback Weekend, will go green shortly after 3 p.m. ET, with coverage on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
