What better way to cap off a NASCAR race weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway than watching Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott battle for the lead in the closing laps of the race? While Elliott kept charging and gaining ground on Hamlin, even getting close to his bumper, he could never catch up to the JGR driver. This gave Hamlin his second win of the season and a guaranteed spot in the final eight later this month. 

"It feels so good to win in Vegas, last couple times I've been so close but just didn't have the right breaks," said Hamlin. "I m so happy to not have to worry about the next two weeks, but I am a professional and I will work just as hard each and every week to win."
