Denny Hamlin dominates Xfinity Series at Darlington

Denny Hamlin tamed The Lady in Black for the fourth time in his career, leading 117 of 147 laps in the #20 Joe Gibbs Toyota in Saturday's Xfinity Series race from the pole at the historic Darlington Raceway. Hamlin's teammates Kyle Busch (#54), who had to start from the rear after qualifying 36th, and outside polesitter Daniel Suarez (#18) finished second and third, giving JGR a sweep of the top three. Hamlin passed Suarez, who was on older tires and running low on fuel, a few laps from the checkered flag. Suarez was the winner of the final Dash 4 Cash payout of the season, winning $100,000 as all previous winners have done. Kevin Harvick in the #88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet was the highest non-JGR driver in fourth. Harvick's teammate Chase Elliott (#9) and Brian Scott (#2) tangled at one point in the race.
