Official race results: 2026 NASCAR Cup at Nashville

After a three-wide battle for the win, Denny Hamlin emerged victorious over Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe.

This is Hamlin's 62nd career NASCAR Cup win, his second of the 2026 season, and his first at Nashville.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. earned his first top five since the Daytona 500, finishing fourth for the small Hyak Motorsports team.

Originally, Chase Elliott was scored in fifth, but NASCAR later corrected the results. Shane van Gisbergen earned his career-best oval finish in fifth, then Tyler Reddick in sixth, and Chase Elliott seventh.

Reddick and Elliott also crashed after crossing the finish line.
