It was a difficult day Denny Hamlin despite a top-ten finish at Kansas Speedway for the Round of 12 opener. Multiple issues on pit road set him back and cost him a shot at winning his way into the Round of 8.
“It was just a crappy day on pit road, and we didn’t get the finish that we deserved," said Hamlin after Sunday's race. This is a great opportunity to lock ourselves in and instead we’re scraping and clawing to finish in the top 10.”
