Martinsville, V.A. -- Denny Hamlin was dominant in Sunday's Cook Out 400, but it was Chase Elliott, who took home the patented Martinsville Speedway grandfather clock. Elliott used a pit strategy devised by his crew chief, Alan Gustafson, parlayed with a perfectly-timed caution late in the race to put himself in position.

When the chips were on the table, Elliott cashed it in for his first win of the season.

Hamlin would hold on to finish second, and would clock in 0.565 seconds behind Elliott at the finish line. Joey Logano came home in third, followed by Ty Gibbs, and William Byron.
