CONCORD, N.C. – Denny Hamlin ended Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race exactly where he started it – at the front of the field.
Hamlin, who qualified on the pole earlier in the evening, pulled away from Kevin Harvick in the final 10-lap segment to claim victory in the annual non-points special event and take home the $1 million prize for first place. Harvick finished second with Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth completing the top five.
