The NASCAR Cup Series ran the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon, with Denny Hamlin grabbing his second straight victory at the track in a race that was plagued with tire management issues. Drivers had to conserve their tires throughout the green flag runs, meaning they weren't able to go full speed from the start, making for some incredible (and equally frustrating) racing.
When it came to Green Flag Speed, race winner, Denny Hamlin, ranked fastest in that statistic on Sunday. He was followed by runner-up finisher, Martin Truex, Jr., and third-place finisher, Brad Keselowski. The fifth-place finisher, Kyle Larson, was also fifth-fastest in Green Flag Speed on Sunday.
All of the top-five finishers ended up ranking 10th-fastest or better when it came to Green Flag Speed for this race. The lowest was Alex Bowman, who was 10th in Green Flag Speed but ended up finishing fourth.
