Denny Hamlin: Chicago Top-5 Finish

Hamlin finished fourth in the Grant Park 165 NASCAR Cup Series race at the Chicago Street Course on Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

Hamlin was the big mover of the day in Chicago. He would start in the rear of the 40-car field due to an engine change and missing qualifying. The Joe Gibbs Racing star would begin gradually working his way through the field. Hamlin would crack the Top 10 by stage 2 and finish that segment in sixth-place. The move forward would continue in stage 3 and Hamlin would hold off Kyle Busch in the final laps to secure a strong fourth-place.
