Denny Hamlin

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Denny leads 292 laps, comes up short. What did you need? Anything you could have done differently there in the last run?

DENNY HAMLIN: No. He did a good job to control the pace there. Just really came from that bad restart I had beside the one. Not much really I could have done there. Felt like we gave it our all.

Q. You guys were taking a look at something here. Things were a little bit different, different package here. What was your takeaway?

DENNY HAMLIN: I thought I had a loose wheel. We'll check it out. Just felt similar to Darlington in the back. We'll check it out here. Just thought the wheel was loose on the last run.

Either way, these are just some of the races that get away from you in your career. This one is certainly one of them.
