Runner-up Finish in All-Star Race Hamlin finished second in the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway Sunday night.
Impact Hamlin started 11th on the grid and gradually moved his way forward during this 200-lap exhibition race. He would have good track position for the final 50-lap stage and would chase leader, Joey Logano, for the win. Hamlin would fall short in that effort and would collect the impressive runner-up finish. It was his second runner-up finish in the last three All-Star Races.

Top-5 Darlington Finish Hamlin finished fourth in the Goodyear 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway Sunday afternoon.
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. Most importantly, the Joe Gibbs Racing star would avoid many of the pitfalls and problems that would take out other Top 10 drivers. Hamlin would try to catch Josh Berry down the stretch but would fall short at the finish and would end up with his fifth Top 5 of the season.

Settles for fifth at Kansas Hamlin finished fifth at the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway on Sunday.
Impact Hamlin looked to have the best car for much of the day, especially on the long run. It paid off in stage one where Hamlin won his third stage of the year. Despite several issues on pit road, Hamlin and team were able to overcome it and get him in clean air late in the race with good strategy. He held off several hard charges from Chris Buescher, but was told he needed to save gas to make it to the end. A late caution saved Hamlin from falling into the clutches of a charging Martin Truex Jr. The No. 11 team got Hamlin out first from pit road with two tires for the GWC restart. Unfortunately, the No. 11 car struggled to take off on restarts all day and it bit Hamlin when Kyle Larson took him three wide and he quickly fell back to fifth place. Hamlin has three wins this year, but could have had a couple more if things had fell his way. At least this time, they were able to get a good finish when they didn't score the checkered flag. Hamlin sits fourth in the standings and will look to make up ground going to arguably his best race track in Darlington next week.
