Sweet Gesture Brings Hamlin to Tears

November 5, 2025 | Edition #451
👋 Hey, Motorhead!
Let's look at Larson's side on this for a second. Yes, he didn't lead any laps. Yes, he was not in actual contention till Byron's tire gave out. And yes, Hamlin had a hold on the race since the start. But that doesn't mean he should feel "awkward" celebrating one of the biggest achievements, which, by the way, came fair and square.
Still, after all that drama, Larson is being the bigger man. And to show that, he pulled a classy move at the recent NASCAR awards that left his JGR counterpart teary-eyed.
