After losing the overtime restart to Joey Logano, NASCAR Cup Series driver Austin Dillon made sure nothing stood in his way en route to claiming Sunday night’s Cook Out 400. Not Logano and not Denny Hamlin. Dillon took out both machines along the final turn at Richmond Raceway. The No. 3 Chevrolet pilot crossed the start/finish line just before an official waived a yellow flag, prompting relief to team owner Richard Childress and anger from Logano and Hamlin.

NASCAR Cup Series Fans React To Austin Dillon Taking Out Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin With ‘Chicken-S#!%;’ Move To Claim Cook Out 400 At Richmond Raceway

Austin Dillon reached victory lane Sunday at Richmond Raceway, something he hadn’t achieved since the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season, but Dillon’s win came at a price for two of his fellow competitors. For Joey Logano, who was leading heading into the final Turn of the race, it ended with a 19th-place finish. And for Denny Hamlin, who looked to be skirting his way past Dillon after his aggressive move, the price was a blown-out shoulder after Dillon hooked him in the right rear as the two were charging toward the finish line in the Cook Out 400.

Going into Saturday's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Richmond, Daniel Dye and Tanner Gray knew that their 2024 seasons were on the line. At the end of 250 laps around the Richmond Raceway, both drivers knew their fate. Dye's conservative, easygoing eighth-place run ended up being enough for him the make up the five-point deficit he previously had to Gray, and while Gray's 12th-place effort was commendable, Dye's litany of stage points ended up being the death knell of Gray's season. "We just weren't good enough," Gray said to Fox Sports' Amanda Busick.
