FILE - In this Sept. 28, 2019, file photo, Denny Hamlin climbs into is car to practice for the NASCAR Cup Series auto race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C. Hamlin thought he was the favorite to win NASCAR’s championship but now finds himself in danger of not even making it to the title round. Chase Elliott is fairly certain he’s backed himself into such a hole that his only chance at a championship is by winning Sunday’s penultimate race of the season. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome, File)
