Denny Hamlin scored his third win of the 2025 season at Michigan International Speedway when he passed William Byron with four laps to go. He is poised to make another deep run in the playoffs, but past championship attempts loom quite large.
An all-too familiar question rears its head: is this finally Hamlin’s year, or will he be heartbroken again?
Frontstretch’s Kevin Nix answers this week’s question for NASCAR Mailbox on Frontstretch’s YouTube channel.
