Denny Hamlin and co-host Jared Allen are in-studio to dive into all things Darlington and the latest in NASCAR news.

Denny Hamlin and Jared Allen are back from a historic race at Kansas.
Denny had an upfront view of the closest finish ever as Kyle Larson beat Chris Buescher by .001 seconds. Sunday's race had the perfect amount of tire falloff to make the race interesting.

Denny had an eventful day on pit road. Could Denny have made it on fuel if the race stayed green? Or was Martin Truex Jr. going to pass him? Denny explains why he took the inside lane on the restart.
