Hamlin finished first in Fort Worth, Texas on Sunday but his win was not 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.

The 38-year-old was winless in 2018, so he is off to a strong start this season.

Hamlin is now the third repeat winner of 2019. He joins Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch.

His win at Texas Motor Speedway was his fourth top-five finish of the year. He was trailed by Clint Bowyer and Daniel Suarez.
