Denny Hamlin

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Denny Hamlin, led 131 laps. This is probably the most frustrated and heartbroken maybe that I've seen you before. What was the most frustrating part of those closing laps?

DENNY HAMLIN: I mean, obviously it's not winning. It's Cody Ware, six laps down wrecking. I don't know. It just added up. I feel for the same move that the 5 got me a couple years ago when I was on the inside. I got to learn from those mistakes that I make, not executing those last few laps.

Q. Did you get into the wall?

DENNY HAMLIN: Yeah, I had a big run off of turn two. 19 I think probably on four tires there. So wasn't a whole lot of room. I wasn't going to lift.

Yeah, just got in the wall. But it didn't really affect the finishing position.
