After his victory burnout, Hamlin unveiled a new victory flag reading "11 against the world" and held it to the Martinsville crowd. When asked about the flag, Hamlin credited the national championship-winning Ohio State Buckeyes football team with providing the inspiration.

Denny Hamlin earned his first Martinsville victory in a decade, dominating with a race-high 274 laps in the lead.

The NASCAR driver who’s won half of the Cup Series races will lead the field Sunday. Christopher Bell, already a three-time winner this season, is set to start the Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway from the pole position after a strong qualifying effort.
