Denny Hamlin's car blows up early in NASCAR Texas race
Denny Hamlin lost power in his No. 11 Toyota Camry, which burst into flames coming from the front fender, on the 74th lap of the NASCAR Texas race's Wurth 400. Hamlin, who entered the race ranked third in the point standings, caused the second caution flag and ended a string of 21 straight lead-lap finishes. It also ended Hamlin's day. Advertisement Hamlin had reported to his radio crew he had lost power just prior to flames being spotted coming from under the car. Hamlin said the engine started missing three-quarters of a lap before he lost power, in an FS1 interview. He did not know why the engine exploded. The incident forced stage one to finish under caution with Austin Cindric in the lead. Reach Mike Organ at 615-259-8021 or on X @MikeOrganWriter.

Denny Hamlin talks NASCAR lawsuit developments, back-to-back DNFs
Denny Hamlin's focus is clear, figure out a way to get his season back on track after back-to-back DNFs while also monitoring the progress of an antitrust lawsuit filed by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports against NASCAR. On May 9 the Associated Press reported a three-judge federal appellate panel indicated it might overturn an injunction that allows 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to race as chartered teams while the lawsuit is pending. NBA legend Michael Jordan and Hamlin are co-owners of 23XI Racing. Advertisement When asked for his interpretation of the development with the appellate judges, Hamlin said, "It's so hard to say. Obviously, we had an injunction that allowed us to remain a chartered team while the lawsuit is going on. Judges had a lot of questions, which typically, appeals judges do ask a lot of questions. Until they make a ruling it's just to hard to speculate."

"I do my best, I'm updated on it; I talk to the attorneys daily, weekly about the updates," Hamlin said. "We're obviously going through the discovery process right now. We've got a trial set for December, which we're very much looking forward to." Advertisement The two teams filed the lawsuit against the governing race body on Oct. 2, 2024 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. It accuses NASCAR of pressuring teams into long-term charter agreements. 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports were the only charter-holding teams to reject the new agreement. A reversal of the injunction would take away the starting spots 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports have guaranteed. Without a charter status the teams would have to compete as open entries without being assured of race-day positions.

"It allows me to focus on my job, which is doing the best I can to drive the 11 car and run 23XI Racing. That's what I've been doing and it's worked well. Obviously, the results show that." Hamlin wins back-to-back on the track The positive results were certainly there early in the season. For the first time since 2012 Hamlin won back-to-back races (Martinsville and Darlington) and followed that up with a second-place finish at Bristol. He also had a second-place finish at Phoenix. And he will be racing at Nashville Superspeedway on June 1 in the Cracker Barrel 400. Advertisement However, Hamlin got blocked by Ross Chastain at Talladega three weeks ago and finished 21st. It only got worse after that when Hamlin's Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota burst into flames near the end of Stage 1 at Texas and then a clutch issue ended his day at Kansas on May 11. "I only can control what I can control and when you have two consecutive DNFs that puts a hamper on that," Hamlin said. "I can only live week-to-week and focus on winning the next race, which is seven days down the line." Reach Mike Organ at 615-259-8021 or on X @MikeOrganWriter.

NASCAR Cup Series at Texas: Starting lineup, TV schedule for May 4 race
The NASCAR Cup Series is heading to Texas on May 4 for the second and final time this season, the first coming at Circuit of the Americas in Austin. Carson Hocevar is on pole for the WURTH 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway, his first in the Cup Series. Advertisement William Byron is on the outside of the front row to start the race. Chase Elliott won last year's stop at Texas Motor Speedway, marking his last win in the Cup Series. Texas is always one of the difficult tracks to gauge with how the tires react and how the grooves work into the track as the race goes along. The May 3 practice session appeared as if cars could run the low groove well, but passing will be a question during the race. If the May 3 NASCAR Xfinity Series race was any indication, there could be plenty of passing in the middle groove. LEGEND OF L.W. WRIGHT PART 2: The long Talladega con: Could L.W.
