Denny Hamlin clawed his way to NASCAR Cup Series victory lane once again after jumping the initial start and earning a lap 1 penalty. That wasn’t all Nashville Superspeedway had to offer the fans in attendance at the Cracker Barrel 400 on Sunday (May 31), as there were hurt feelings, mechanical failures and fantastic racing.
Stock Car Scoop host Eric Schneck is joined by Frontstretch writer Mike Neff as they break down all of the action from Nashville, including Hamlin’s lap 1 penalty, multiple brake failures, various fuel strategies, Brad Keselowski vs. Austin Dillion, and the three-way Joe Gibbs Racing battle for the win at the end.
Joining Schneck and Neff are Frontstretch trackside reporters Trenton Worsham and Danny Peters, where they break down their thoughts from a weekend of plentiful on-track action.
Wrapping up, Schneck and Neff take a look ahead to the races at Michigan International Speedway and Pocono Raceway, as well as touch on if Shane van Gisbergen can truly be a playoff contender.
