Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin locked down his third NASCAR Cup Series® race win of the season with an impressive performance in the closing
laps of the Wurth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway.
Hamlin led the final 72 laps of the race, but had to hold off a hard-charging challenger in the final circuits. Hamlin’s rear-view mirror was filled with the
second-place car as the laps clicked away towards the checkered flag, but Hamlin was able to negotiate late-race traffic the best to cross the finish line first
by just 0.256-seconds. Hamlin’s third win of 2024 was also his 54th career NASCAR Cup Series® win, which tied NASCAR® legend Lee Petty for 12th on
the all-time wins list.
