NASCAR Results Today: Denny Hamlin DENIED at Pocono as 23XI suffer nightmare
Chase Briscoe has beaten team-mate Denny Hamlin at Pocono to take his first NASCAR Cup Series victory as a Joe Gibbs Racing driver.
With the way that strategies and cautions had played out, Briscoe led the Great American Getaway 400 ahead of the closing stages, but was under huge pressure from both his team-mate and his own car.

Briscoe left his fuel box too early during his last pit stop, and his crew were fearful he didn’t have enough fuel on board to make it to the end, with the No. 19 forced to deploy plenty of lifting and coasting during the final stint with Hamlin breathing right down his neck.
Briscoe held on, however, and in doing so, became the third Joe Gibbs Racing driver to lock himself into the 2025 Cup Series playoffs after Hamlin and Christopher Bell.
Hamlin eventually came home in P2 behind Briscoe, having looked strong throughout the race, with Ryan Blaney finishing third, an impressive run after being sent to the rear before the green flag.
Elsewhere, it proved to be a miserable day for 23XI Racing, with Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace and Riley Herbst classified as 32nd, 36th and 37th after issues for each during the race.
Wallace and Reddick are now under increasing pressure to hold onto their spot above the playoff bubble, with neither driver yet to win a race this season and lock themselves in.
With that said, let’s take a look at the full race results below, including stages one and two.
