Denny Hamlin dominated in winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chevy Rock &Roll 400 on Saturday at Richmond International Speedway. Brian Vickers finished 8th which was good enough to secure the 12th and final Chase spot, 8 points ahead of No. 13 Kyle Busch. Matt Kenseth started the night in the playoff, but had an ill-handling car all night long and finished a lap down.
