Denny Hamlin

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Denny, that last restart opportunity you had, as you think back on it, would you have done anything differently to try to get the lead?

DENNY HAMLIN: I don't think so. Every time I had the caution, I had great position. Dang it, I was a little unlucky. Obviously me and the 20 were battling really hard because we know whoever can clear.

I thought the car was really fast and could make moves and kept getting aside the 20 but couldn't quite clear him and make a move on the 7. Looked like he was struggling a little bit as well.

Dang it, we were really, really good all day. I thought we were at our best when it really mattered at the end, just didn't get to see it through.
