Denny Hamlin<\/a> could taste it. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was just a matter of turns from advancing to his fourth straight Championship 4. Within feet of the finish line, the three-time Daytona 500 winner<\/a>, who has yet to claim a title despite a Hall of Fame-worthy career with 48 Cup wins, saw it all go away in a red blur.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ross Chastain pulled off<\/a> the “Martinsville Miracle” with a video game move of riding the wall, which allowed him to vault from 10th to fifth in the final couple of turns with a record-setting lap on the half-mile track and stamp his ticket to a shot at the title in Phoenix.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like everyone else on the planet, Hamlin had no idea what was happening until it was too late to react. And the radio communication revealed as much, starting with a moment of panic, followed by a moment of complete disbelief and dejection, knowing that the guy who had been a thorn in the team's side much of the year had just pulled off one of the greatest moves in the sport's history and eliminated them from the championship hunt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
