On Sunday, June 28th, Denny Hamlin made history by winning his 7th Pocono race and his 50th NASCAR Cup Series victory. This marks the first time a driver has won seven races at the same track in the modern era of NASCAR.
Hamlin started the race in third place and quickly moved up to the lead. He was able to maintain his lead for the majority of the race, only relinquishing it for pit stops. Hamlin was able to stay ahead of the competition and take the checkered flag for the win.
This win is especially impressive considering that Hamlin has been racing in the Cup Series since 2006. In that time, he has won 50 races, making him the active leader in wins. He is also tied for sixth place on the all-time wins list with NASCAR Hall of Famer Bobby Allison.
Hamlin’s win at Pocono is especially impressive due to the difficulty of the track. The track is known for its long straightaways and tight turns, making it difficult for drivers to find a good line around the track. Hamlin was able to master these turns and take the win.
The win was also a big moment for Joe Gibbs Racing, as it marked their 200th Cup Series win. This is a testament to their commitment to excellence and their ability to produce championship-caliber drivers.
Denny Hamlin’s record-breaking win at Pocono is a testament to his skill and determination as a driver. He has now cemented himself as one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history, and this win will be remembered for years to come.
