Returning to Bristol Motor Speedway, he had hopes of taking victory, but things went wrong after he got a tire blow that dragged him behind. Speaking to the media during the post-race interview, Hamlin mentioned that they had issues with the Toyotas, which resulted in them battling for the ninth position. Despite not taking the victory, he knows they can win anywhere. In his statement, he said: “We had some steering issues, and it looks like our Toyota teammates also had steering issues. We just battled through it and held on to ninth place today. … We can win anywhere we go to. We’ll go to Texas and try to win like we always do. Just need to get a good, solid round going. Just seems like mechanical stuff with this Next Gen and wrecks are the X-factor in moving on so you just have to be really consistent and with five races to go, that’s when you have to start winning.” Denny Hamlin explained that the mechanical issues with the Next Gen cars are the ones that are limiting them from not taking the victory. Recently, Hamlin has been caught up in wrecking issues, especially the Daytona International Speedway wreck on August 28. Looking at the track record in the last four Bristol races, Hamlin has led 276 laps and won one race with a stage victory this fall. He also has two consecutive runner-up finishes. This means that by going to Texas Motor Speedway next weekend, Hamlin might win the race.
