Denny Hamlin of Joe Gibbs Racing had an up-and-down performance during Saturday night's Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway. Hamlin began the race from the fourth position, and even after green-flag pit stops, Hamlin finished the first stage of the race in third to earn stage points. In the second stage, Hamlin would fall outside of the top 10 and finish the stage in 12th after being involved in a multi-car accident on Lap 190, and slow pit stops during the stage itself. The theme of slow pit stops continued into the final stage with Hamlin. Despite having one of the fastest cars on the track, Hamlin barely finished the entire race in the top 10 and placed 10th at the end. This marks Hamlin's sixth top-10 finish in seven races at Richmond since 2022.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
