But, his road to victory wasn’t easy, as he had to overcome a tire violation his team committed on pit road.

Nevertheless, Hamlin came out on top and was able to celebrate at the conclusion of the race. He was winless in 2018, so he’s off to a strong start this season.

The 38-year-old is now the third repeat winner of 2019. He joins Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch.

Hamlin’s win at Texas Motor Speedway was his fourth top five finish of the year. He was trailed by second-place finisher Clint Boyer.
