Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin, the driver of the No.11 Toyota Camry XSE, says that this weekend’s Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be tough.
The Chesterfield, VA native heads into this weekend’s race at the Brickyard off the back of a second-place finish last time out at Pocono Raceway and looking ahead to Indianapolis on Sunday, Hamlin, who is currently fourth in the championship, 185 points behind leader Chase Elliott commented saying:
“It’s going to be tough. “It’s going to be wild on restarts. I think you’ll have restarts very similar to Pocono, where guys are trying to fit in spots that are not there—and you’re talking about a track that is even narrower than what Pocono is.
“We all know being on the outside is not going to be preferred, so you’re going to want to be on the bottom. What’s going to happen is we’re going to go down these long straightaways and everyone is going to try to go three-wide bottom, and you’re probably going to see a lot of wrecks late if there are restarts to bunch us up.”
