Denny Hamlin the Favorite to Win at Gateway
3 months agoIn what shouldn't be a surprise to many people, Denny Hamlin is the favorite to win the Enjoy Illinois 300 at Gateway this weekend. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been elite on the shorter tracks this season, picking up wins at Bristol, Richmond, and Dover, while finishing second at North Wilkesboro and leading the most laps at Phoenix. Hamlin finished second here at Gateway last season and will start from sixth for this weekend's race. The No. 11 Toyota was fastest in 20-lap average during practice here on Saturday morning, which means that if Hamlin can get to the lead on Sunday, he should be able to set sail. Denny is the highest-priced driver on DraftKings this weekend, but he's got enough upside that he's definitely worth having a heavy exposure to on Sunday.
