Denny Hamlin Had Epic Reaction To Bubba Wallace's Brickyard 400 Win
What a moment for Bubba Wallace at this year's Brickyard 400.
Not only did the 31-year-old driver outlast the competition in double OT to take the checkered flag at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but he also became the first Black driver in history to walk with a trophy on the course's oval track.
Among those to celebrate the hard-fought win was 23XI co-owner Denny Hamlin, who joined Bubba in kissing the famed bricks as the two enjoyed the sweet, sweet taste of victory.
Fans were loving Denny's support on X:
"Denny's great!!" a user replied.
"Damn I wish Jordan had attended the race also. Would have been cool to have both owners kissing the bricks," another said.
"My two favorite drivers," a fan commented.
"Absolute f—ing cinema," another person shared.
"Awwwwwww s—t 🥲" another user teared up.
"You know Denny Hamlin is thinking about grabbing that trophy and trying to run off with it lol," another fan laughed.
"I can't wait for Actions Detrimental! Whoo hooo!!! 😄"
"So awesome for them!!" another account exclaimed.
Wallace's massive win is his third since joining the Cup Series and moves him up into a playoff spot at 11th in the points standings.
It's also his first win in one of the sport's four crown jewel races which include the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, Southern 500 and the Brickyard.
Bubba took a big risk and it ultimately paid off. He and 23XI will look to keep this momentum going into their next race at Iowa next weekend.Denny Hamlin Had Epic Reaction To Bubba Wallace's Brickyard 400 Win first appeared on The Spun on Jul 27, 2025

Cardinals training camp: Rookie CB Will Johnson makes highlight play
The Arizona Cardinals held their annual Red & White Practice on Saturday at State Farm Stadium. The second day in a row practicing in pads, they got in work in front of thousands of fans. There were a lot of plays made, but one play in particular will be remembered, and it gives Cardinals fans a reason to be excited about their rookie class. Cornerback Will Johnson, their second-round pick, made the play of the afternoon. He intercepted a pass from Kyler Murray intended for Zay Jones. Johnson jumped in front of Jones and took the ball away. Check out the play. Will Johnson picks off pass Johnson will play a big role on defense this season. He is one of the Cardinals' top three cornerbacks right now after Sean Murphy-Bunting and Star Thomas both had season-ending knee injuries. He, Max Melton and Garrett Williams will be the starters and play a lot. Johnson, selected 47th overall in the 2025 draft after falling tot to the second round. He was considered as high as a top-10 talent in the draft. Hopefully, that play is just a preview of many like it to come in the regular season.

Former Michigan QB compares Bryce Underwood to current NFL stars
Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood has already received his flowers as an elite quarterback, even without playing a single down of college football yet. And given that he was the consensus no. 1 ranked player in the recruiting class of 2025, the preseason hype is obviously understandable. And now, the quarterback is even receiving props from that graced the turf in Ann Arbor before him, namely former Wolverines quarterback Jack Tuttle, who retired from football last year due to injuries. In a recent interview with Isaiah Hole, Tuttle held very high praise for the freshman quarterback, comparing him to current NFL quarterbacks such as Trevor Lawrence and Michael Penix Jr. "I've seen Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields. That was my class. I've seen a lot of good football throwers, and I've been with Mike Penix at Indiana, obviously J.J. McCarthy here at Michigan," said Tuttle. "I would say Bryce is at the top with the best of them and probably throws it better than a lot of those guys, which is scary to say." A scary statement indeed, considering that Trevor Lawrence was just about perfect during his time at Clemson, and Penix Jr. and McCarthy met each other in the national championship last year and are now both starters for their respective NFL teams. If you could win with hype, Underwood could surely do it, but he first has to wait to see if he will even be the true starting quarterback in Sherrone Moore's offense.

Tim McGraw thrills crowd before MLB Speedway Classic
MLB tried something new, sort of new. The Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds were supposed to play a baseball game on a field inside Bristol Motor Speedway. Problem is that the weather didn't cooperate and it rained and rained until after two hours play was suspended with the Reds leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first. The game will be picked up on Sunday afternoon. The idea riffs off something college football has done but weather isn't usually a problem for that sport. What did take place was a pregame concert featuring Tim McGraw. That went off without a hitch. No word on whether the Speedway Classic will be renamed Field of Streams.
