Fifth-Place at Charlotte Hamlin finished fifth in the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway Sunday night.

Impact The Joe Gibbs Racing star wasn't as strong as he has been in recent Charlotte races, but Hamlin performed well in this rain-shortened event. The driver of the No. 11 Toyota didn't lead any laps but he was able to push his way inside the Top 5 by the close of stage 2. That good track position gained would pay off as shortly after stage 3 started, the rain would start coming down. Hamlin would be credited with the strong fifth-place finish. It extended his current Top-5 streak to four races.

Runner-up Finish in All-Star Race Hamlin finished second in the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway Sunday night.

Impact Hamlin would not have the speed he's displayed in recent weeks, but he would a face among the Top 10 most of the 400-miles.
