2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hamlin has averaged four wins and finished inside the Top-5 of the championship points in each of the last five seasons. We don't see that changing anytime soon for the Joe Gibbs Racing star. While he didn't race for the title at Phoenix, he was the first guy "outside looking in" and wound up a very respectable fifth-place in the points. The driver of the No. 11 Toyota showed his staying power with three wins and 19 Top-10 finishes in 2023. For the 43-year-old Hamlin that proved his worth in a sport that is ever shifting younger. We didn't see many cracks in the armor in the past season, so we're projecting similar performance for this driver and team in 2024. Short tracks and intermediate ovals were Hamlin's sweet spots last season and that should continue to keep him championship relevant for the immediate future. Read Past Outlooks

Chicago Top-5 Finish
Hamlin finished fourth in the Grant Park 165 NASCAR Cup Series race at the Chicago Street Course on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
Hamlin was the big mover of the day in Chicago. He would start in the rear of the 40-car field due to an engine change and missing qualifying. The Joe Gibbs Racing star would begin gradually working his way through the field. Hamlin would crack the Top 10 by stage 2 and finish that segment in sixth-place. The move forward would continue in stage 3 and Hamlin would hold off Kyle Busch in the final laps to secure a strong fourth-place.
