Who won NASCAR Nashville race? Winner is Denny Hamlin, plus full results

[ASFN Admin]

*UPDATE*: NASCAR has adjusted the finishing order inside the top 10, moving Chase Elliott down to 7th.*

Denny Hamlin won a three-way Joe Gibbs Racing battle in a four-lap dash to win the Cracker Barrel 400 NASCAR Cup Series race on May 31 at Nashville Superspeedway.

Hamlin, Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe crossed the line for the white flag three-wide, and Hamlin prevailed after Bell drove in too deep and Briscoe relented on the high side.

The No. 11 rescued the result after a Lap 1 penalty for jumping the start, forcing a pass-through penalty a couple laps into the race.

Here are the results from Sunday's race:
