NASCAR 2023 Darlington schedule, entry list, and how to watch

An incredible race at Kansas culminated in contact between Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson as they battled for the win. Larson hit the wall and Hamlin claimed victory following the last-lap clash, but the action did not end there.

After the checkered flag, Noah Gragson confronted Ross Chastain on pit road and grabbed him by the firesuit. Chastain warned Gragson to stop before punching him in the face. The two were then quickly separated by security.

Gragson's frustration surrounded an incident exiting Turn 4 when he hit the wall while battling three-wide with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Chastain. Chastain was in the middle lane and pushed up the track.

Chastain never made contact with Gragson but the situation resulted in Gragson hitting the outside wall. Gragson did come back down the track and hit the right-side of Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet afterwards. Gragson then spun out a few laps later.

NASCAR penalized neither driver for the pit road altercation, but did suspend two Team Penske crew members after a wheel came apart on the No. 2 car of Austin Cindric.

NASCAR now heads to the iconic Darlington Raceway for 'Throwback Weekend' with Joey Logano as the defending race winner.

Chastain is in firm control of the championship standings, 31 points up on Christopher Bell.
