In response to NASCAR suspending two key member of their over-the-wall pit crew, Denny Hamlin and the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 team have elected to defer that suspension a week, meaning that it will be served over the races at Kansas Speedway and the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL.
Hamlin will be without ‘Joel B’ Bouagnon and Austin Maloney due to the loss of a right front wheel during the Bristol Night Race on Saturday. This a safety rule NASCAR has implemented to ensure that teams tighten their wheels to prevent them from becoming a projectile during the race.
