Denny Hamlin returned to victory lane Sunday at Pocono Raceway a year after his first-place finish was thrown out, giving him a track-record seven wins and 50 overall in his Cup career. Hamlin also gave Toyota its 600th NASCAR victory. Hamlin passed Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon — for the second consecutive year — for most wins at the tri-oval track in Eastern Pennsylvania. Hamlin and his former Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch had their 1-2 finishes stripped a year ago by NASCAR for aerodynamics violations.

Joseph Newgarden completed a weekend doubleheader sweep at Iowa Speedway, leading 212 of 250 laps Sunday to edge Team Penske teammate Will Power by less than a second at the IndyCar series race in Newton, Iowa.
