The seventh round of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series came to a dramatic end last night after 400 laps around the Richmond Raceway.
The race saw Denny Hamlin snatch victory in NASCAR Overtime at his home circuit, to claim his second win of the season.
However, in the grand scheme of things it was the fourth-place finish and Stage One victory that saw the Championship leader, Martin Truex Jr, extend his lead in the Championship from five points to 14.
Kyle Larson moved up the order from fifth to second place after finishing in third place last night and with an extra ten points to his name after winning Stage Two.
Race winner, Hamlin, only gained a place in the Championship as he moved inside the top three from fourth to third.
The biggest loser from this race in terms of Championship positions from the top drivers was Ty Gibbs. The 21-year-old was in second place after COTA last week, but after a 16th-place finish last night drops to fourth in the standings.
The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series did not get off to the best start for the two-time Cup Series Champion, Joey Logano. The #22 Ford has struggled so far this season, but a breakthrough second place last night launched him three places up the standings into 19th.
Cup Series rookie Josh Berry moved up five places after an impressive showing last night as he now finds himself in 23rd place.
The biggest faller in the Championship was Corey LaJorie who fell four places in the standings from 23rd to 27th place.
