Denny Hamlin has won the chaotic NASCAR Cup Series elimination race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, holding off Chase Elliott on a second overtime restart.
Elliott managed to finish second and advanced to the round of eight on points when Brad Keselowski, whom he'd been dueling with all afternoon lost too many spots.
Kyle Busch wound up third, followed by Kurt Busch and William Byron.
But the key was Keselowski, who dropped from 13th to 19th on the restart and out of the next round of the playoffs.
The NASCAR series heads to Virginia with the First Data 500 set for next Sunday afternoon at Martinsville.
