Denny Hamlin: Wins the Hollywood Casino 400

Hamlin won the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

Hamlin dominated the afternoon at Kansas Speedway. He led a race-high 153 laps and seemed to have a death-grip on the win. However, some late cautions would bunch the field up, and setup some restarts. Hamlin would have to hold off Chase Elliott on the green-white-checkered finish to claim the win. It was his fifth victory of the season, and the Joe Gibbs Racing star advances into the Round of 8 in the Chase for the Cup.
