3 years agoDenny Hamlin lurks. That is what he does best. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had a solid car and was near the front all afternoon. He was fourth after Stage 1 and third after Stage 2. Despite that, the No. 11 never led a single lap all race and bizarrely, Hamlin was hoping for an opening that never truly came. He settled for third place on Sunday at the season finale. At the end of the race, Hamlin just was not faster than Martin Truex Jr. or Kyle Larson. Hamlin will contend once again in 2022 and probably win a race a little earlier too.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
