There’s something special about Bristol Motor Speedway. The high-banked half-mile in Thunder Valley always delivers drama, intensity, and memorable moments. But this weekend, fans have a unique choice to make — which “3” would be more thrilling to witness?
Would it be Denny Hamlin scoring his third straight Cup Series win? Or Kyle Larson pulling off the rare and impressive feat of winning all three NASCAR national series races at The Last Great Colosseum?
Let’s break down both scenarios — and what they would mean.
Denny Hamlin: Going for Three in a Row
Denny Hamlin is no stranger to controversy or victory lane, and lately, he’s been red-hot. After wins at Richmond and Martinsville, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver now has a chance to make it three straight Cup wins, something rarely seen in today’s ultra-competitive NASCAR landscape.
If Hamlin pulls it off, not only would he solidify himself as the driver to beat heading into the next phase of the playoffs, but he’d also tie a personal best for consecutive wins in a single season. It would be a statement — loud and clear — from the No. 11 team.
And let’s face it: hearing the Bristol crowd react to another Hamlin win? That’s always a show in itself.
Kyle Larson: Going for the Sweep
Then there’s Yung Money. Kyle Larson is attempting a modern-day Bristol sweep: Trucks, Xfinity, and Cup — all in one weekend. It’s a feat that hasn’t been done since Kyle Busch famously pulled it off in 2010.
Larson’s no stranger to victory at Bristol. He’s won the Cup night race before, and he’s always a threat no matter what kind of car he’s in. But winning all three races in the same weekend? That’s legendary stuff.
If he does it, it won’t just be a highlight of 2025 — it might be one of the defining moments of his already Hall-of-Fame-caliber career.
So, Which “3” Would You Rather See?
The question was posed by SiriusXM NASCAR Radio on Twitter/X, and fans lit up the replies:
Some want to see Hamlin silence the boo birds and go for a historic run. Others want to see Larson join an elite club with a triple victory sweep.
Both are compelling stories. Both are possible. And both would be unforgettable.
So, NASCAR Nation — what’s your pick?
Would you rather see Denny Hamlin make it three in a row…
Or Kyle Larson make history with a Bristol sweep?
