Denny Hamlin Has a 44-Point Lead and No Answer for Atlanta
Denny Hamlin leads the Cup Series by 44 points with seven races left, but Sunday night the Quaker State 400 visits EchoPark Speedway, a drafting track where he has no top 10 all year.

NASCAR's In-Season Challenge Starts Sunday. The Points Leader Is the Last Person It Protects.
A NASCAR season rewards consistency. The In-Season Challenge, NASCAR's five-week bracket that opens Sunday at Sonoma, rewards the opposite: surviving one head-to-head Sunday at a time. Which is why the points leader gets no protection at all.
Shane van Gisbergen Has Seven Cup Wins. Every One Is a Road Course. Sonoma Could Make It Eight.
Shane van Gisbergen has won seven Cup races, every one on a road course. If he wins Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma, he'll be the first driver whose first eight Cup wins are all road courses.

Hamlin Charges From the Back to Win at Michigan, Honor an Old Friend
Denny Hamlin drove from the rear of the field to win the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan for the second straight week, his 63rd career Cup win tying the late Kyle Busch for ninth all-time.
