BRISTOL, Tenn. Joe Gibbs Racing did everything it could but win Sundays Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

JGR Toyota drivers Denny Hamlin, Ty Gibbs and Chase Briscoe finished in the second through fourth positions, respectively.

Hamlin challenged race winner Kyle Larson during the late stages of the race, but came home second, ending his two-race winning streak in the NASCAR Cup Series.

You have to give that team (Larson, Hendrick Motorsports) their due just a dominant performance. It looked like a pretty flawless day for them. It looked pretty easy, Hamlin said. It was all I had to try to keep up there. Im glad we were able to give him a little bit of a run with our Progressive Toyota, but this weekend we are all thinking about Jon Edwards family, Al Pearce, Shige Hattori. Weve lost a lot of great people in our sport over the last week, so our thoughts are with them.

Wish we could have got one more spot, but I just wanted to keep him honest there at the end. That was all I was trying to do, but he was a little too much to handle.

Gibbs earned his first top-five finish of the season and his second consecutive top-10 finish.

It was a good day, Gibbs said. I was kind of managing the race and figuring out the way we needed to be. It was fun. I had a blast. Weve definitely made an improvement. Thank you to Monster Energy, SAIA and Toyota. It was fun.

Finally, Chase Briscoe, finished fourth in the No. 19 Toyota.

Yeah, I had been kind of catching him the last 30, 40 laps. I about got him in the end and then the 12 (Ryan Blaney) came out of nowhere I didnt even know there was anybody close to us, Briscoe said. It was fun. The JGR (Joe Gibbs Racing) cars were really good today. I wish we could have got (Ty) Gibbs there at the end there, but all-in-all, great day for us, especially after last week.

Last weekend was probably our worst race of the year, so to be able to come back and have a good run like that in our Bass Pro Shops Toyota was good. Just need a little bit more still.

The fourth JGR driver, Christopher Bell, finished eighth.
