Denny Hamlin is chasing the NASCAR Grand Slam by winning the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis, a feat accomplished by only four drivers, with his best IMS results being third place on multiple occasions and his 23XI team victory at Indianapolis complicating his personal pursuit. While leading the Cup Series standings and enjoying a strong season, Hamlin has yet to win at IMS, making the Brickyard 400 the last major hurdle in his Hall of Fame–caliber career.
