In interviews after the race, Hamlin says there are rules in place to prevent “ridiculous acts.” He says that NASCAR won’t be taken seriously with officiating.

“It’s amazing that it’s allowed,” he told a reporter.

Sunday was Dillon’s first win since August 2022. He had just two top-10 finishes this year and entered the race ranked 32nd in the standings.
