DARLINGTON, S.C., May 9 (UPI) -- Denny Hamlin took advantage of pit miscues by Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton Saturday to win the Showtime Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina.
Hamlin crossed the finish line nearly 2 seconds ahead of pole sitter Jamie McMurray to grab his third win in the last six Sprint Cup races. He also won Friday's Nationwide Series race at Darlington, giving him a weekend sweep.
