There he joined prominent figures such as Kevin Harvick, Hailee Deegan, and Brad Keselowski. The opening race at Stafford Motor Speedway was filled with actions and close passing, but the end was abrupt due to the storm. Eventually, it was none other than Denny Hamlin, who walked away with the big prize.
After the success of last year’s SRX races, which attracted large crowds, the series has scheduled six races for this year. Denny Hamlin participated in the series this year as a part-timer and managed to win on his debut in the opening race on the half-mile oval on Thursday night.
