Denny Hamlin Takes Second Place At Gateway
1 year agoDenny Hamlin never could quite get to the lead on Sunday. He was close several times. Even on the restarts, the Joe Gibbs Racing car kept having to settle for second or third place. After Stage 1, the No. 11 car was third and the same fate was met when Stage 2 concluded. Though stage points never hurt, a victory would have felt better. With Hamlin's result, he is tied for seventh in the overall standings with Kyle Busch. Ironically, he finished 0.517 seconds from a win. It felt like Hamlin was so close yet so far.
