When Denny Hamlin crossed the start-finish line at Martinsville for his 55th career win, it also placed him in a tie for 11th on the all-time wins list. He and the rest of the Cup Series field now head to Darlington where Hamlin has more wins than any other active driver (four) with his most recent coming in 2021.
While always battling near the front of the field, Hamlin was facing a 31-race winless streak when he captured the checkered flag last Sunday. Even as the winningest driver in NASCAR without a Cup title, Hamlin said maintaining confidence is never a given ... nor should it be.
