Overall, Hamlin has posted four top-five finishes in the past six races at Kansas, including a fifth-place finish last fall and fourth earlier this season. Hamlin’s success at Kansas also extends to the NASCAR Xfinity Series where he won in 2008.
  • DARLINGTON RECAP: The No. 11 team turned in a solid effort in last Sunday’s playoff opener at Darlington Raceway. After starting 11th, Hamlin methodically worked his way forward during the first stage as he ended up second. During stage two, he ran inside the top five early before being shuffled down the running order through a series of restarts late in the segment. In the final stage, he found his way back into contention and was hounding eventual race winner Erik Jones in the closing laps before ultimately finishing second.

Talk about the team’s mindset going to Kansas after a strong start to the playoffs…

“We’re looking forward to Kansas this weekend. We feel like this is an opportunity to run well based on how our season has gone and how we ran there in the spring. For us, we need to be a little bit better than what we were then, but we feel like we can certainly do that. It’s also an exciting weekend welcoming Acumatica on board for their first NASCAR race, so we want to put on a good show for them and hopefully continue building momentum here in the playoffs.”
