Numbers Never Lie: Hamlin Has Tricky Triangle Figured Out
Pocono Raceway is one of Denny Hamlin’s best tracks.
And Denny Hamlin is one of the best to ever race at Pocono.
At least that’s what the numbers say.
Judging by his statistics, it seems the Virginia native feels right at home at the 2.5-mile Pennsylvania track. In 18 starts at the Tricky Triangle, he’s earned more wins (four), poles (three) and top fives (nine) than he has at any track besides Martinsville.
But Hamlin’s pattern of Pocono dominance transcends personal significance. His four wins are tied for the third-most all-time at Pocono, behind only Jeff Gordon (six) and Bill Elliott (five), and no active driver lays claim to more Coors Light Pole Awards there than Hamlin’s three.
