Pocono Denny Hamlin won his first Cup Series race after starting from the pole position at Pocono. Hamlin dominated the Pennsylvania track, winning his second race from the pole position at Pocono in 2006. He also led a total of 102 laps during that race. His first victory came in 2007 when he drove the Joe Gibbs Racing car to a win at Darlington Raceway. That same year he also finished third at Texas Motor Speedway and Richmond International Raceway. He won again in 2008 at Phoenix International Raceway. That was also his only win that season as he suffered multiple accidents throughout the campaign and lost several races due to them. He returned in 2009 and won twice more before ending his season with three wins out of four races. In 2010 he didn't win any race but did finish on the podium six times. Hamlin has been one of NASCAR's most consistent drivers over the past ten years and is a two-time winner of the Chase for the Sprint Cup. He currently sits in fourth place in the point standings just five points behind leader Jeff Gordon. When Hamlin isn't racing he makes his living modeling clothing for various brands including Nike, GoDaddy, and Coca-Cola. He has also appeared in commercials for Dodge trucks, AT&T, and Bud Light.
