Denny Hamlin had one of the fastest cars in practice, but wrecked during qualifying for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As a result, he started the race on Sunday from the 39th and final position. The No. 11 Toyota driver spent the entire race steadily working his way through the field both on track and through pit strategies. By the end of the first stage, Hamlin was in the 18th position. Hamlin made it to the top 10 during the second stage and despite playing with pit strategies, it worked out for Hamlin to gain further track position as he ended the second stage in the third position, collecting stage points. In the final stage, Hamlin slid into second behind Kyle Larson until green flag pit stops sent him back in the field again, but he made it back up to fourth by the race's final restart. During that final restart, Hamlin made it past William Byron, who went on to run out of fuel on the final lap of the race. Hamlin finished the race in the third position, earning his first top-5 finish at Indianapolis since 2018.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
