NASCAR Silly Season Tracker: Daniel Suárez, Cole Custer Secure 2027 Rides

Fifth at Charlotte Hamlin finished fifth in the NASCAR Cup Series Bank of America 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday.

Impact Hamlin's championship hopes almost took a major hit at Charlotte on Sunday, as issues on his first pit stop dropped him back to the rear of the field after he ran in the Top 5 early on. That caused Hamlin to miss out on stage points in the first stage, but he would keep moving back toward the front from there, eventually finishing the day in fifth place. The Cup Series now heads to Phoenix, a track where Hamlin has a pair of victories, most recently winning there in 2019.
