Watkins Glen International
Cheez-It 355 at The Glen
Hamlin earned the first road course victory of his career by leading only 10 laps of the 90-lap race -- the most important ones in the end. The victory was redemption for Hamlin's near-win at Sonoma Raceway earlier in the season when a bobble on the final lap allowed Tony Stewart to steal the victory. At Watkins Glen, Hamlin held on to the checkered flag, fending off Truex and Brad Keselowski, who made contact behind him as everyone battled for position.
