The NASCAR Cup Series hosts its annual Darlington Raceway Throwback Weekend in the Goodyear 400 this Sunday, but Denny Hamlin took the wayback machine out for a spin last week and zoomed back about 15 years.

Our car was great. It did everything I needed to do. Just so happy to win with Chris and get 55. It’s awesome. He’s been such a soldier to come in here to this 11 team and learn our style and over the last few weeks putting his final touches on it.

To a familiar mixture of cheers and boos, Denny Hamlin climbed onto his No_ 11 Toyota’s doorsill and unfurled a blue flag emblazoned with “11 Against The World.”
