Denny Hamlin, Driver of the No. 11 Mavis Tire Toyota Camry XSE
What are you looking forward to about this weekend at North Wilkesboro?
“I’m looking forward to the different tire options this week. If it turns into a tire conservation race, I definitely like my chances. For it being at North Wilkesboro – a short track – not far from home, it’s going to be pretty exciting, I can’t wait to get there.”
Why are you excited about the different tire options this weekend?
“I like it because it gives us options. It gives the teams options to run what they think is best for them. Any time we are all on the same tire, at times, it seems like we all run the same speed. I like the idea of the driver playing a bigger role in your result and they certainly will at North Wilkesboro.”
