Poise Under Pressure: Hamlin’s Remarkable Run Rolls On 

Denny Hamlin captured his third points-paying NASCAR Cup Series victory of the year Sunday at Michigan International Speedway – the last two of his amazing wins were stunning rallies through the field coming in consecutive weeks starting from the rear of the grid - spectacular demonstrations of the head-down, poise and confidence of a veteran.  

At 45 years old in his 21st fulltime season, Hamlin still continues to raise an already stellar game and he’s done so recently in the midst of hugely emotional personal loss – his father during the off-season and then his friend, former Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch only weeks ago.
