Hamlin won the South Point 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday evening.
ANALYSISDespite starting on the pole position, Hamlin would only lead 9 laps on the night. However, they would come mostly at the key time late in the race. The Joe Gibbs Racing star would gamble on a late pit stop under caution to take on fresh tires. Hamlin would chase down and pass
Chase Briscoe for the lead with 3 laps to go. The victory was his sixth of the season and 60th-career win.
