Hamlin’s Charge Threatens Reddick’s Lead

Tyler Reddick thought he had the Chase’s top seed locked up with a 129-point lead — but Denny Hamlin’s recent surge has slashed that gap to just 51 points with 11 races left. Models give Reddick a 74% shot to hold on, but Hamlin’s 26% chance is anything but negligible. The battle’s now a two-horse race, with Hamlin’s path to the top seed lined with high-stakes tracks like Daytona and Atlanta — and potential pitfalls at Indy and Pocono. Reddick’s road-course dominance offsets Hamlin’s short-track strength, but with more short tracks ahead, Hamlin’s advantage grows. At 45, Hamlin is defying age with arguably his best season ever — and if he keeps this pace, he could snatch the top seed and finally chase his first Cup title.
