Denny Hamlin

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Denny, you guys put it together tonight and advanced. Take us through some of the emotions from this race.

DENNY HAMLIN: Yeah, my aspiration was to win it, but it looked like the 5 there just was better than all of us. Yeah, solid car. I thought we were really good towards the middle stages, and then there at the end, just got too loose and couldn't hang on to kind of what we had there.

But overall, top-5 day, good stage points, kind of in the mix, just not really as good as what we've been here the last couple times. But overall I thank this whole FedEx Toyota team for giving me something I could move on with.

Q. Does this feel a little bit like a reset for you guys to have a good run again, finally now going to the Round of 12?

DENNY HAMLIN: Certainly, yeah. It's all offense from this point forward. So yeah, we're going to Kansas, a track we've been really good at, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the run.
