There are only two weeks left until NASCAR’s playoffs start and there are still plenty of automatic bids left to the taking. Denny Hamlin must be thrilled the tour is led back to Darlington Raceway.
The defending champion of the Bojangles Southern 500, Hamlin is second among active drivers with two wins in the 1.366-mile monitor and he has seven top 5s and 10 top 10s to go with it at 12 career races at the monitor. He’s finished in the top 3 in four of the last six races at Darlington and top 4 at five of his last six on that track.
The 38-year-old needs to be thrilled to make his way to South Carolina this week as he looks for his first victory of the year as well as an automatic berth to the playoffs. But with just three finishes within the top 10 in his last six races, he is not performing at his absolute best.
The Big 3 of Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. do Exactly That. All three’ve wins on the course in their professions and have combined for 11 top 5s and 24 top 10s at Darlington Raceway. Busch is second among active drivers in driver evaluation in the South Carolina track (105.1) and he is our pick to win the Bojangles Southern 500.
