Denny Hamlin gets first Cup win of the year



Denny Hamlin finally got the monkey off his back on Sunday at Louden, NH. He held off the late charge of Jeff Gordon to take the checkers.

After his pit crew has lost him a handfull of races this year, they finally got him a win. He was not the best car, but they took two tires on the last pit stop, getting him out first and giving him the much needed clean air.

It was also a relief for the entire Joe Gibbs racing team, who has led the most laps this year in the Car of Tommorrow, but hasn't yet made it to victory lane. Next week is the Daytona night race, so hopefully Tony Stewart can make it two in a row for Gibbs.

Martin Truex Jr. also scored another top 5. What a turn around for this team.
