With only four races left before the playoffs, the stakes are high. JGR driver Denny Hamlin’s #11 has been unstoppable, finishing second at Richmond Raceway last weekend after a breathtaking three-lap sprint to the finish. As the historic D-shaped oval hosts its 106th Cup race, all eyes are on Hamlin, who has a remarkable history at Michigan, with victories in 2010 and 2011. 

After securing a remarkable Pocono win and an impressive second-place finish at Richmond last week, Denny Hamlin is eager to extend his winning streak at the Firekeepers Casino 400. As the spotlight shines brightly on the Michigan International Speedway, luck seems to be on Hamlin’s side as a charming little “construction cutie” made an appearance at the paddock, rallying behind him.
