A Look at All of Denny Hamlin’s Martinsville Cup Wins

Denny Hamlin has achieved a remarkable feat in NASCAR Cup Series history by holding the record for the most victories at Martinsville Speedway, a 0.5-mile short track in Chesterfield, Virginia. The North Carolina native has secured six wins at this track, which is considered his home track. Here's a detailed account of every occasion Denny Hamlin has stood on victory lane at Martinsville Speedway in the NASCAR Cup Series:

1. On March 2008, Hamlin's third full-time season in NASCAR Cup Series competition saw him claim his first victory at Martinsville Speedway. Driving the No. 11 Toyota, he led the pack for 82 laps, outlasting Jeff Gordon who started on the pole and led 90 laps. This win marked the fourth career victory for Hamlin.

2. In October 2009, despite starting from the 17th position, Hamlin's determination paid off at the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville. He led an impressive 208 of the 500 laps, securing his second career Cup Series win and second at Martinsville, while fending off the eventual winner, Jimmie Johnson.

3. March 2010 witnessed one of Hamlin's most thrilling victories at Martinsville. In the Goody's Fast Pain Relief 500, with less than 10 laps remaining, Hamlin decided to pit for four tires while most other lead lap cars stayed out. He made a daring charge on an overtime restart, passing Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth on a three-wide pass entering turn 3 to win the race just a day before undergoing a left knee ACL injury. Despite this setback, he went on to complete the season without missing a race.

4. In October 2010, Hamlin completed his sweep of the 2010 Martinsville races with victory in the Tums Fast Relief 500. Leading only 40 laps, he held off Mark Martin for his fourth Martinsville win and third consecutive win at the short track.

5. Hamlin broke through again at his home track in March 2015, now driving for Joe Gibbs Racing. Starting from the 15th position, he led 91 laps en route to his fifth Martinsville triumph. This victory marked his 25th career Cup Series win and his first win in 2015.

6. The most recent victory comes from the Cook Out 400 held in March 2025. Hamlin's sixth and latest win at Martinsville Speedway saw him leading 274 of the 400 laps in the Progressive Toyota. This win was part of a record-setting year for Hamlin, marking his first of six wins in 2025 and his 55th career Cup Series victory overall.
