Drivers with three consecutive wins in NASCAR history

Coming off of wins at Martinsville Speedway and  Darlington Raceway the past two weeks, Denny Hamlin has a chance to become the latest driver to win three consecutive races heading into Sunday's race at Bristol Motor Speedway (3 p.m. ET, FS1, PRN Radio, Sirius XM NASCAR Radio) -- where he enters as the defending race winner.
