Denny Hamlin went to victory lane in the Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help a Hero 200 getting past Austin Hill on the final restart at Darlington Raceway.
John Hunter Nemechek began the day on the pole as several Cup Series drivers joined the race in hopes of getting a jump on their playoff opener tomorrow.
Kyle Larson would deal with engine issues while Kyle Busch would spend much of the day in the middle of the field.
