Denny Hamlin Clinched a Playoff Spot, Still Eyes First Win of 2021 at Michigan
3 years agoDenny Hamlin had the race car to win last week at Indianapolis. He was in the lead in overtime with just a couple of laps to go. Then, disaster happened again. Chase Briscoe spun him out and his chances of victory went up in smoke. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts ninth at Michigan on Sunday. Hamlin other than a clunker or two races great on the two-mile track. He has four top tens in his last six races and six of eight overall. His average finish of 6.7 on intermediate tracks like Michigan is second-best among all active drivers. The No. 11 will be one to watch on Sunday.
