There are only two weeks left before NASCAR’s playoffs begin and there are still lots of automatic bids left for your taking. Denny Hamlin must be thrilled the tour is headed back to Darlington Raceway.
The defending champion of this Bojangles Southern 500, Hamlin is second among active drivers with two wins at the 1.366-mile track and he’s seven top 5s and 10 top 10s to proceed with it in 12 career races at the track. He has finished in the top 3 in four of his past six races at Darlington and top 4 in five of the final six on that track.
The 38-year-old needs to be thrilled to make his way to South Carolina this week as he looks for his first victory of the year as well as an automatic berth to the playoffs. But with just 3 finishes inside the top 10 in his past six races, he is not performing his best.
The Big 3 of Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. are doing just that. All three have wins on the track in their professions and have combined for 11 top 5s and 24 top 10s at Darlington Raceway. Busch is second among active drivers at driver rating at the South Carolina track (105.1) and he is our pick to win the Bojangles Southern 500.
