Denny Hamlin nearly did something at Pocono Raceway that nobody in the history of NASCAR had ever done, almost becoming the first driver to win consecutive races — while missing a start in between them.

In terms of race wins and points collected, there's a clear top four right now. But Denny Hamlin is the only one executing on a weekly basis.

After missing last week's NASCAR Cup Series race, Denny Hamlin made a strong return as he tried the best runs against fellow teammate Chase Briscoe during the Great American Getaway 400. But, he had to settle for the second-place finish due to an unlucky fuel strategy and a late-race restart at the Pocono Raceway.
