3 years agoThe Kyle Larson blown tire and subsequent wall slam saved Denny Hamlin's point lead for now but also bumped Hamlin up to fourth on Saturday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver showed some consistency and a little restraint for a change. He ended up sixth after both stages and was near the front most of the 130-lap race. Again, Hamlin did not lose a bunch of positions like some drivers. He simply drove his race and netted another top-five result. If he can do that on Sunday, maybe the No. 11 could be in a position to finish on the podium. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
