Hamlin finished 25th in last weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. After spending most of the day running inside the top 10, he found himself in the top five with less than 20 laps remaining. Unfortunately for the No. 11 team, Hamlin was involved in an accident on lap 246 and then another incident on the ensuing restart. The late-race misfortunates spoiled another promising run for the Chesterfield, Virginia native.

Hamlin Conversation – New Hampshire
What do you expect going to New Hampshire with the Next Gen car?
“New Hampshire is a great track overall. I expect that we’ll be shifting quite a bit this weekend, so I’m not sure what that will entail for the race. I have always felt like oval racing was momentum based and that’s how it should be. But we’ll play within the rules we’re dealt and make the most of this weekend. Our FedEx team has been working very hard to make gains on tracks like this, so it will be good to see where we’re at now that we’re halfway through the season.”
