Denny Hamlin Falls Short Of Victory At The All-Star Race
4 months agoDenny Hamlin continues to remain one of the best short-track performers of the season, as he finished second in the All-Star race at North Wilkesboro. This was the best finish of his Cup career at North Wilkesboro. Starting from the 11th position, Hamlin methodically worked through the field, prevailing against others during long green flag runs. Hamlin's pit crew also helped him gain a few positions until he was behind Joey Logano. Despite having a slightly faster car by the end, Hamlin could not pass Logano for the win, losing by 0.636 seconds. Although he was the most expensive driver for DFS this week, Hamlin was worth the high salary as he ended the All-Star race as the second-highest point scorer overall. With the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte being the next race, Hamlin should be one of the top favorites to consider as he won the event in 2022 and has three finishes of seventh or better in the last four Cup events there.
