DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Ground Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Qualifying Position: 1st - Take us through your lap, Denny. “Yeah, it was a great run for our team. We kept getting better every run and really I think it helped us that we qualified the same day we practiced. It gave us an opportunity to get in rhythm. On these road courses, we’ve been really fast. We just have not qualified well and that’s really put us at a disadvantage early. Now that we’re upfront, we can play our strategy like the way it’s supposed to be played and hopefully have a great day tomorrow.”
