Denny Hamlin is still riding off his 60th Cup win and rightfully so. It wasn’t just the final 10 laps of Las Vegas Motor Speedway that cemented Hamlin’s legacy, but also years and years of patience and hard work that have gone behind it.

Everyone knows how much this moment meant for him. This early win gave him a golden ticket into the Championship 4, his best shot at the Bill France Cup in the Next-Gen era. But before all that glory, Hamlin knew what was at stake, and when he finally achieved it, the veteran racer couldn’t help but break down.
