Denny Hamlin Wins Rain-Shortened Toyota 500
5 years agoJoe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin won Wednesday's Toyota 500 at Darlington in a race that ended early after rain hit the track. It was Hamlin's third win at the track. Hamlin's win might not have happened had teammate Kyle Busch not spun Chase Elliott, bringing out a caution that ultimately ended in a red flag and a called race after the weather stopped cooperating, as Hamlin didn't have the best car in the field, leading just 12 laps. Hamlin will look to follow this up with a strong run at Charlotte in the Coca-Cola 600, though Hamlin has never won a Cup race at that track, even though he finished second twice there in 2012.
