Denny Hamlin Does a 'Dover CEO' Coldplay KissCam Pose After NASCAR Victory
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin has shared a photo of himself on X, mimicking Astronomer CEO Andy Byron by hugging the Monster Mile trophy after his Cup Series win at Dover. Hamlin got in on the trending moment sweeping social media after Byron was reportedly spotted hugging the head of human resources, Kristin Cabot, on the KissCam during Coldplay's concert. The pair did not want their alleged affair to be made public. However, their reaction to being featured on the KissCam caused a great stir, making headlines worldwide. The Cup victory was Hamlin's 58th so far, which arrived after an interesting battle in the last leg of the race with Chase Briscoe, who finished second. The race was red-flagged for an hour due to heavy rain, following which, Briscoe added significant pressure on Hamlin during the overtime restarts. However, he finished behind Hamlin by a margin of 0.310s. Denny Hamlin, driver of the #11 Progressive Toyota, celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Cup Series AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway on July 20, 2025 in Dover, Delaware. Denny Hamlin, driver of the #11 Progressive Toyota, celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Cup Series AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway on July 20, 2025 in Dover, decided to have some fun after winning the Dover Cup race, mimicking the pose that went viral recently. He wrote in the caption, "Dover's CEO." Many fans have reacted to the post that received over 4,500 likes. Some comments are quoted below: This fan said it: "That's it, the meme is officially over." That's it, the meme is officially over 🤣 — SteelHorseLive (@SteelHorseLive) July 21, 2025 A compliment for the race win: "That's awesome. You drove a fantastic race. Good job." That's awesome. You drove a fantastic race. Good job. — Dr. Claude allain (@Claudeallain5) July 21, 2025 Some more praise: "Say what you will about Denny but damn dude just gets better with time. Dude controlled the race and knows how to drive this gen 7." Say what you will about Denny but damn dude just gets better with time. Dude controlled the race and knows how to drive this gen 7 — Seth Harwell (@The_SethHarwell) July 21, 2025 This is a good point: "Where's coldplay when you need them?" where's coldplay when you need them? — Jacob Morgan (@Jacobdean1342) July 21, 2025 Hamlin acknowledged after the race that he had shifted his driving style for Dover after being inspired by Jimmie Johnson and Martin Truex. He said: "Well, it's twofold. There's two things. One is obviously my driving. I've talked about that, changing my style to more of a Martin Truex and Jimmie Johnson style. "I just studied some of the greats here. I was very fortunate to have Martin Truex as a teammate. Jimmie Johnson, watching him win (11) times here. You learn from the greats and you change your game to match it, you have success like this. "The other is focusing on what I need to tell the team to make the car better, identifying where I'm losing time, then focusing on what I need to tell them how I can go faster in that section of the racetrack. Just try not to get caught up too much in... "NASCAR is an emotional game where you really kind of get caught up in shit that doesn't matter. So I just try to look at it from a very straightforward point of view, numbers point of view. "Find out where I'm bad, analyse what I'm doing, analyse the best, then figure out how I can go faster like them, then give that information to the team. "It typically takes me a little bit longer to give the team the feedback that they're needing because I like to analyse it, make sure it's right, before I tell them. But it's just changing my mentality on that process and how I'm doing it." Hamlin became the 19th Cup Series driver to win three times at Dover after his victory on Sunday.

MLB goes full NASCAR with Braves, Reds uniforms for Speedway Classic at Bristol
In an effort to host more baseball games in more unique locations, the Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves are set to play a game at Bristol Motor Speedway, the legendary auto racing track in Bristol, Tennessee, on August 2nd. This will be the first-ever MLB game played at a NASCAR track, and the teams involved are going all-out for their part in league history. On Monday, July 21, the Cincinnati Reds unveiled the uniforms they plan to wear for the contest: white jerseys equipped with classic checkered flag patterns and numbers in the same style seen on drivers' cars. The Braves also revealed their jerseys, which will feature similar NASCAR-inspired numbers, as well as a new ballcap designed by New Era with hod rod flames across the brim. The Aug. 2 game will count as a Reds home game and will be proceeded by games against the Braves at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park on July 31 and Aug. 1. The game will be held a little more than a month before the speedway, know as "The Last Great Colosseum," hosts NASCAR's annual Bristol Night Race on Saturday, Sept. 13. The baseball field will be set in the middle of the track's infield. GUARDIANS: Why did Cleveland change baseball team name? Origins of decades-long controversy Are there any other specialty pieces of gear for this game? Rawlings has designed new batting helmets directly modeled after racing helmets for this game. Furthermore, Reds' catcher Tyler Stephenson has already revealed a custom chest plate for the game, modeled after the movie 'Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.' The straps on the back of the protector include the famous line from the movie: "If you ain't first, you're last." Has Bristol hosted other major sporting events? Bristol Motor Speedway anually hosts two NASCAR weekends a year – one in the spring and one in late summer or early fall. The speedway hosted a college football game between the Tennessee Volunteers and Virginia Tech Hokies in 2016, which had almost 157,000 fans in attendance. Partnership with MLB: The Show The Bristol Motor Speedway ballpark as well as the Reds' and Braves' specialty uniforms are expected to be available to play with in the popular baseball video game MLB: The Show 25. What other fanfare will be at the Speedway Classic? There will be a pregame concert headlined by Tim McGraw, Pitbull, and Jake Owen. Owen will host a full day of musical sets in a dedicated fan zone at the venue, per Bristol Motor Speedway. The Commissioner's Trophy is also expected to make an appearance, giving fans a once in a lifetime opportunity to take photographs with baseball's most coveted trophy.

Luke Combs Teases Music Video With NASCAR's Dale Jr. and Richard Petty
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. American country singer Luke Combs has teased a new music video, featuring NASCAR drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and seven-time Cup Series champion Richard Petty. Titled 'Back in the Saddle,' the track will be released on Friday, July 25. Combs shared images of the song on X. One image of a checkered flag has photos embedded inside the black and white blocks. Two photos of Dale Jr. can be spotted from his racing days, including his number 8 car. An image of Petty's belt bearing his racing number 43 has also been featured. One detail that can't be missed from the photo is NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s quote. It reads: "You win some, lose some, and wreck some." Further details of the song will likely be available after its release on Friday. Music video will be out with the song this Friday. Can't wait for y'all to see it — Luke Combs 🎤 (@lukecombs) July 21, 2025 Dale Jr. has been making full use of media to ensure his father's stories go out to NASCAR fans. As well as his popular Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Dirty Mo Media, the former driver has launched a podcast series titled 'Becoming Earnhardt 1980,' which is based on stories about Dale Sr., obtained from scrapbooks that Dale Jr.'s aunt preserved. Singer Luke Combs poses for a photo in the pace car prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on June 30, 2024 in Lebanon, Tennessee. Singer Luke Combs poses for a photo in the pace car prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on June 30, 2024 in Lebanon, series focuses on NASCAR's 1980 Cup Series season, showcasing lesser-known details of the events that unfolded, eventually leading to Dale Sr.'s championship victory. Speaking about the new series, Dale Jr. said: "It's just a show that I started. I got these two scrapbooks from my aunt when my grandmother passed away. We went to her house, we were kind of looking through some of the things - photos and all kinds of stuff - and there were these two scrapbooks that my aunt made. "They are literally, one is from the '79 year and one's from the '80 Cup season. She cut out every article and everything. So right there in front of me, man, is basically this kind of book of, like, 'here's what happened to Dad.' "I just never really dove into that real deeply to get details about that particular couple of years when he drove for Rod Osterlund and landed his first full-time ride in NASCAR. "So we decided to make a series, Becoming Earnhardt, to detail what's in those scrapbooks and the things that we learned. It's pretty interesting." Addressing a controversy that will be highlighted in the podcast series, Dale Jr. said: "1980 is what this particular season of Becoming Earnhardt will be focusing on, and there is a high-profile split with crew chief Jake Elder. How Jake handles that in the media is wild—Jake goes off the rails, Jake comes back on the rails—it's just wild. "And Dad and Cale get nippy in the media late in the year. Cale actually is real critical of Dad on the racetrack. Just watching that whole thing—kind of reliving it, putting yourself in the moment of going back through that particular year—I think it's really fun for me. "I'm a nostalgia freak. I love the history of the sport. So it is a great time for me, a good excuse for me to dive more into learning about that particular part of Dad's life. I lived a lot of the late '80s and the '90s. I wasn't even in Dad's life in 1980. I was not living with him yet."
