Denny Hamlin holds off Kyle Larson, but their late-race battle highlights yet another flaw with the Next Gen car.

Let's talk all that and MORE post-Dover!

HMS vs. JGR once again... JGR takes this one.

Great battle between Hamlin and Larson down the stretch.
#NASCAR

Larson starting to reeeeeeeel him in. Lapped-traffic gonna be a factor.

Hopefully Gragson can hang on for a good finish. He qualified well, but faded bad in the middle portion of the race.

Now that's he got track position back, would be big for that team to score another top10 or better.
#NASCAR

Fast cars stuck behind slow cars that can't hold their line. Chaos is inevitable at Dover.

Looks like another classic Hamlin/Larson battle is shaping up. This one could be for the win.
#NASCAR

Worth noting that Larson is cutting into Hamlin's lead. That may be impacted by lapped traffic, but the gap was 3.2 seconds at Lap 292.

At Lap 304, Larson has cut it to 1.978 seconds. #NASCAR

Need a dedicated spotter-cam. That was interesting to watch.
#NASCAR

Truex (17 total pts) and Larson (15 total pts) have each won a stage.

Byron now runs 17th after the earlier pit stop issue, but he still earned 9 stage points.

Stenhouse earned 3 stage points today.
#NASCAR

Good stop for the No. 8 team. Gained a couple of positions.
#NASCAR

That's SIX stage wins for Kyle Larson this year. Nobody else has more than two.
#NASCAR

As caution-free stages go, that was a fun one.

Lots of movement inside the top10. Short-pitting vs. stay out strategy. Larson/Bowman/Hamlin/Truex group never separated by more than a couple seconds.

Next Gen car NEEDS multiple grooves to put on a decent show.
#NASCAR

Great run by Alex Bowman today. He's a former Dover winner, and finished 4th at the most recent concrete oval (Bristol).
#NASCAR

Big mistake is going to cost this team about 17 positions 😬

AJ Allmendinger qualified 10th and runs 10th.

Shame he isn't full-time in Cup anymore.
#NASCAR

Before the commercial break, Corey Heim was 28th and the next car to be lapped.

Now, Heim is 25th and has put several cars between himself and the leaders.

Impressive drive.
#NASCAR

McDowell was running top10 before the speeding penalty... now he just got lapped.

Potentially good day gone bad for Front Row Motorsports.
#NASCAR

Ryan Blaney leads.

There are no other Fords in the top10. The rest of Team Penske are 19th and 20th.
#NASCAR

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is inside the top10. Reminder that he finished 2nd at Dover the first year of the Next Gen car.
#NASCAR

Strong move by Ryan Blaney to take the lead.

Good to see four Fords, from three different teams, inside the top10 early.
