Toyota drivers lead 307 of 367 laps at Darlington Raceway.
Toyota drivers dominated Sunday night’s Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, leading 307 of the 367 laps; however, they couldn’t close the deal due to various issues.
“I about wrecked in the middle of one and two a few times,” Reddick says. “I was either going to catch Kyle or I was going to wreck … and finish …28Denny Hamlin suffered possibly the most heartbreaking night. He led three times for 177 laps and won the race’s first two stages before a loose wheel foiled his run. The incident occurred during a green-flag segment in the race’s second half. Hamlin was leading when he pitted for four tires and fuel.
With 60 laps remaining in the 367-lap event, Harvick trailed leader Tyler Reddick by 0.508 second. When crew chief Rodney Childers called Harvick to pit road for his green-flag stop, Reddick’s crew chief did the same. However, Reddick couldn’t make the turn onto pit road even though he slowed, which caused a close following Ryan Newman to spin. Newman’s spin on lap 310 triggered the sixth caution period.
A blocking maneuver involving Daniel Suarez and Alex Bowman on Darlington Raceway’s frontstretch eliminated both drivers from Sunday night’s Cook Out Southern 500 as well as Harrison Burton who was an innocent victim. “So that’s just part of it sometimes,” Bowman says. “Obviously, the block didn’t work out and looking back I shouldn’t have done it. I knew I needed to hang on to whatever track position I could.”“At that point, I was in trouble,” Burtons says. “By the time I saw him coming down, he was in my lap.”With 50 laps remaining in the Cook Out Southern 500’s second stage, NASCAR ordered a caution due to an issue with the lights along the inside of turns three and four.
