2 years agoDenny Hamlin has been here before. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver won last year at Darlington for his first win of the season. He led 146 laps of the 367 in total and even won Stage 1 while placing fourth after Stage 2. The No. 11 car was very quick in early qualifying. Though he missed the final round, Hamlin qualified 11th nonetheless. Again, that run near the beginning was just 0.008 seconds off the pole. Aside from car issues, Hamlin usually runs well at Darlington whether it is Next-Gen or not. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
