Hamlin overtakes DiBenedetto late to win Bristol

NASCAR

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Denny Hamlin has raced to his fourth victory of the season by holding off Matt DiBenedetto at Bristol Motor Speedway.

DiBenedetto finished a career-best second just days after learning Leavine Family Racing would not bring him back for a second season. A win would have earned him an automatic berth into the playoffs.

Instead, Hamlin chased him down in the closing laps to spoil the upset.

Hamlin won from the pole and overcame early damage to his Toyota and a loose wheel to win at Bristol for the second time in his career.
