Denny Hamlin Falls Short of Winning and Places Third at Charlotte
Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin ended the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in third place. Hamlin began the race from 11th and then spent the first stage passing cars until he made it to the top five. The first stage ended with Hamlin in third while Kyle Larson and Chase Briscoe stayed ahead of the driver of the No. 11 Toyota. In the second stage, Hamlin got by Briscoe mid-way through the second stage and ended up winning it with a commanding lead over Ty Gibbs. Hamlin continued to run inside the top five through most of the rest of the race, falling short of winning the third stage to Christopher Bell after losing the lead to him before the end of the stage. In the final stage, Hamlin came close to winning the race in the late stages, but cautions kept him from passing Daniel Suarez for the win, and instead left him finishing third. With his sixth top-5 finish of the season, Hamlin is now second in the regular-season standings, 122 points behind Tyler Reddick.
