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

Dan Quinn continues to praise these two young Commanders
One week into training camp, and you could make the case that the Washington Commanders' defense has been the more impressive side of the ball. That's noteworthy because Washington's offense was among the NFL's best last season. However, it's early in camp, and the defense almost always has the early advantage. While Washington's defense deserves praise for how its started training camp, several offensive players have stood out at various times over the first week. Two of those players were Day 2 draft picks from the 2024 NFL draft: tight end Ben Sinnott and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey. We've profiled each player recently and specifically predicted a breakout campaign for McCaffrey. So, it's no surprise that when head coach Dan Quinn speaks to the media, he's asked about the progress of some of his young players. This week, Quinn discussed Sinnott and McCaffrey. "Two players come to mind going into second year on the offense regarding the skill spots, Luke and Ben, and in different ways they both made their impact, and you see them just the confidence, so much more knowledgeable in the system," Quinn said. "There was a play Ben had on a seam route yesterday that took a certain check against the blitz that he and [QB] Jayden [Daniels] had to go execute. A year ago, that would've been harder for him to have that nuance. And you saw that yesterday with Ben." Next, Quinn focused exclusively on McCaffrey: "With Luke, it's been a lot of the same where he can go outside and inside, but the smallest skill work adjustments have been made," he said. "He was always somebody that could pick up on the offense quickly. He's got a background as quarterback, but you kind of see maybe before there was still sometimes, I think like a quarterback now you see him thinking like the receiver. And I think, although that sounds like counterintuitive, more knowledge wouldn't that be better? The finest of the details at the receiver position, that that's what I see now.' This is not the first time Quinn has praised Sinnott or McCaffrey. Far too often, some in the media and fans don't believe a player is having a strong training camp if his name isn't mentioned every day on social media. Sinnott has received some positive attention as of late, but we haven't yet heard a lot of chatter on McCaffrey. That shouldn't be a bad thing. Just remember: if a player isn't all over the practice highlight reel on X, it doesn't mean he's struggling.

Goldbridge: Man Utd too strong for Bournemouth but transfers still vital
Man Utd Beat Bournemouth but Questions Remain Despite Preseason Progress Early Goals Define the Match Manchester United delivered a 4-1 victory over Bournemouth in their second US tour match, offering moments of flair but also a reflection of where the squad currently stands. As Mark Goldbridge put it during The United Stand podcast, 'Convincing win for Manchester United. Lots of positives.' The early breakthrough came from a 'lovely cross from Dorgu', which was converted to make it 1-0, followed by another Dorgu-driven move to bring it to 2-0. The match continued with goals from Amad and Williams before a Bournemouth own goal brought the final score to 4-1. While the performance was applauded, Goldbridge was clear in noting, 'Ultimately a clash of two teams really. One who last season was very good and one was really bad.' Praise for Dorgu and Player Performances Goldbridge reserved particular praise for Dorgu. 'Absolutely brilliant in preseason. Like even before the cross to Rasmus, I was literally just about to tweet that Dorgu's had another good start to the game.' His physicality and composure stood out. 'He's mixing it up with players. He's not scared to be physical… he was my standout player, man of the match comfortably.' Photo IMAGO Williams also got attention for his cameo: 'It's a 20-minute cameo. He scores a goal. It's great for the lad.' But there was scepticism too, particularly with some senior figures. 'Casemiro was way off the pace, too slow for the Premier League,' Goldbridge noted. While others, like Bruno Fernandes, received measured praise, he added, 'I don't think Chelsea would be using Bruno in the midfield or Arsenal or Liverpool or Man City or even Aston Villa.' Photo IMAGO Preseason Momentum but Transfer Needs Goldbridge continually returned to the broader context: preseason as preparation, not prophecy. 'This is good preparation… I'm happy with the preseason games we've got.' Yet he stressed it must go hand in hand with recruitment. 'Still need a goalkeeper, still need a striker, still need a midfielder.' He voiced frustration over the slow transfer progress: 'The board need to move a little bit quicker.' Although the intensity and attacking rhythm were steps in the right direction, Goldbridge did not shy away from noting that Bournemouth 'looked dreadful' and that the likes of West Ham and Everton were likely to finish in the bottom half. 'I think that the competitive nature of the Premier League is more up for grabs this year,' he said, but warned, 'Fifth place is up for grabs, but it's not going to be easy… it's there for the team that wants to be ambitious.' A Word on Squad Depth and Future Fixtures Looking ahead, the discussion shifted to squad balance. 'If Rasmus goes, you've got Sesko, Zirkzee can do a job and OB 17,' Goldbridge explained, calling for depth across the front line. 'I would certainly like to have three proper strikers.' Photo IMAGO With Everton and Fiorentina up next before a key test against Arsenal, Goldbridge called for calm and realism. 'I don't think there's a United fan out there that's stupid enough to run away with that and get excited without being a joker.' Final Thoughts from the Pod Closing on a positive, Goldbridge remarked, 'Really enjoyed it. I don't feel that tired at all.' He also praised the fans for their dedication: 'A big massive shout out to the community tonight… getting up at 3, 4, 2 in the morning to watch Man United play.' Ultimately, the match might have seen Man Utd beat Bournemouth with style, but the podcast made it clear that improvement, ambition and recruitment are key to ensuring these summer performances translate when the season begins.
