Hamlin, Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe crossed the line for the white flag three-wide, and Hamlin prevailed after Bell drove in too deep and Briscoe relented on the high side.

The No. 11 rescued the result after a Lap 1 penalty for jumping the start, forcing a pass-through penalty a couple laps into the race.

Here are the results from Sunday’s race:
