Talladega Motor Speedway hosted the GEICO 500 on Sunday and it was a day of mixed emotions for Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin . He ended up in the victory lane as the co-owner of 23XI Racing, as his driver Tyler Reddick was the winner. At the same time he had a really bad day as a driver, after getting DNFed in all Toyota crash.
The race wasn’t great as an entertaining event, as the drivers employed a fuel saving strategy and ran below the optimal speed. This might have been the reason while the first two stages of the race were really clean, before the usual Superspeedway type chaos. Denny Hamlin was furious about how the strategy dictated the race.
