Denny Hamlin continued the Toyota trend of the evening with the manufacturer sweeping the Coca-Cola 600 stages Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver led Stage 3 after a wild restart with just three laps to go. The restart shuffled back the dominant car of Martin Truex Jr., who had won Stage 2 and appeared set to land another stage victory before a late-stage caution. It’s Hamlin’s second stage win of the season.
Behind Hamlin was a duo of JGR drivers in Stage 1 winner Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth, followed by Furniture Row Racing teammates Truex and Erik Jones to round out the top five.
Kyle Larson, who picked up race points in both of the first two stages, hit the wall with eight laps remaining to bring out a caution and send his No. 42 Chevrolet to pit road for repairs.

Defending race-winner Martin Truex Jr. had to withstand nearly a two-hour weather delay but emerged victorious in Stage 2 of Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway for his Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series-leading sixth stage win of the season.
Behind Truex were Jimmie Johnson in the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, Matt Kenseth in the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 Toyota, Stage 1 winner Kyle Busch in the No. 18 JGR Toyota and Kurt Busch in the No. 41 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford.
Truex was second in Stage 1 and has led 108 laps through the first 200.
Ryan Blaney, seventh in Stage 1, was forced to the garage in Stage 2 with a broken axle. He returned to the race later in the stage.
Kyle Busch led 34 of the first 100 laps of Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, giving his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing the Stage 1 win. This marks Busch’s third stage win of the season.
Defending winner Martin Truex Jr. and pole-winner Kevin Harvick hit the start/finish line behind Busch in their No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota and No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford, respectively.
Four-time winner Jimmie Johnson’s No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet and Matt Kenseth’s No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota rounded out the top five.
The top 10 finishers in both Stage 1, Stage 2 and — for the four-stage Coca-Cola 600 only — Stage 3 receive race points. The race winner will receive 40 points and five playoff points at the conclusion of the Final Stage.
