Denny Hamlin Has Speed To Win Kansas Despite Pit Crew Concerns
2 years agoIt takes a lot more than a fast race car to win a NASCAR Cup Series race. Another important factor in challenging for a win is a driver's pit crew, and Denny Hamlin's pit crew has been struggling as of late. At Dover last weekend, the #11 crew lost a total of 11 positions on pit road. Hamlin had a great car at Dover and looks to have an even faster hot rod here at Kansas this weekend. Denny was fastest in 5-lap, 10-lap, 15-lap-, and 20-lap average during practice on Saturday and has been one of the best at Kansas over the last few years, with five top 5 finishes in the last seven races, including two wins. If Hamlin's pit crew can avoid mistakes on Sunday, look for the #11 Toyota to challenge for the AdventHealth 400 win at Kansas.
