3 years agoDenny Hamlin saved his best for first as the playoffs got started last week at Darlington. Hamlin held off Kyle Larson in one of the more memorable final laps in some time. The bottom line was the Joe Gibbs Racing driver got that first win. This ensured him of advancing to the round of 12. This week, the No. 11 heads to Richmond where the driver has seven top-five results in his previous nine races (win in 2016). Hamlin has led more than 12% of the laps in the last three years as well. Starting second will give him a chance to lead a few laps this time around and his package suits him well on this 3/4 mile track.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
