Nascar – Denny Hamlin brings Joe Gibbs Racing back to the top at Loudon

Considered one of the major forces of the first division of Nascar Cup Series, the team Joe gibbs racing had still not managed to find the way to Victory Lane this year. A gap filled yesterday by the success of Denny Hamlin on the Loudon oval in New Hampshire.

Le week-end avait d’ailleurs mal débuté pour le pilote de la Toyota Camry n°11, parti à la faute en essais et contraint d’utiliser sa voiture de réserve pour la course. Pas de quoi l’empêcher de s’immiscer dans la lutte pour la victoire en précédant sur la ligne d’arrivée Kyle Larson (Chip Ganassi Racing – Chevrolet), meilleur temps en qualifications, mais déclassé pour non-conformité technique et Martin Truex Jr (Furniture Row Racing – Toyota), passé tout près de la correctionnelle suite à une crevaison durant l’épreuve.

Truex Jr also remains the driver to have led the greatest number of laps last night with 137 laps passed in the lead out of the 301 on the program. The top 5 is completed by Matt Kenseth (Joe Gibbs Racing) and the first Ford Fusion of Kevin Harvick (Stewart-Haas Racing).

Daniel Suarez (Joe Gibbs Racing), Clint Bowyer (Stewart-Haas Racing), Kurt Busch (Stewart-Haas Racing), Brad Keselowski (Team Penske – Ford) and Jimmie Johnson (Hendrick Motosports – Chevrolet) enter the top 10.
