Hamlin Gets Victory

Denny Hamlin was so nervous on the last few laps of the NASCAR Nextel Cup race, that his right foot was shaking. He believes he needs race wins to be a serious contender for his first Cup championship. So he was out in front, thanks to a late race gamble on a two tire stop. Jeff Gordon, four time series champion was looming close in his mirrors. Hamlin pulled off, beating series points leader to the finish by 0.068 seconds, less than a car length, to earn his third career victory and the first since last July at Pocono.
