Denny Hamlin talks about Homestead-Miami Speedway

First off, talk about Homestead: "This can be a tricky place but it's a place where we've been pretty good over the past two races.  Qualifying is always a struggle but we usually turn it around on Saturday and then get ourselves in the right place on Sunday.  The banking here gives you an opportunity to search for that place where your car can work into turns one and three without having to use a lot of brake and then being able to get back on the throttle as soon as you can.  It's a fun track when your car is working - not as much fun when you are struggling to find the balance."

Conversation with Denny Hamlin:

You put up a great result last weekend at Texas - how does it feel to have one go your way?: "We've had such a tough run of luck lately that to have a race go our way caught me by surprise a little. It was a great call by the team in Texas. We had struggled for long stretches of that race, had some issues on pit road that really cost us track position and then I got into the wall trying to push the car a bit. Really, in the end, some of those issues actually opened the door for us to make that fuel decision and then stretch our mileage because I didn't have any pressure. To see the other cars running out or pulling off it was clear we were going to make up a bunch of spots but to finish that race in second was awesome. We've been on the wrong side of that fuel game before and it's a terrible feeling. It was nice to have one go our way."

This weekend will mark Hamlin's ninth start at Texas Motor Speedway and 149th career Cup Series start. Earlier this season, Hamlin and the #11 FedEx Racing team scored a hard-fought 12th-place finish at Texas, battling handling issues for much of the race but still managing to achieve their highest position by the time the checkered flag came out. Hamlin started from the 22nd spot on the grid and methodically worked his way forward over the course of a long and trying afternoon. In general, this 1.5-mile track has been very good to Hamlin and the #11 FedEx team since the Chesterfield (Va.) native was introduced as the full-time driver of the #11 car in Nov. of 2005. In only his fifth career Cup start, he piloted the #11 FedEx Chevy to a seventh-place finish. Hamlin has continued to perform well since, recording a fourth-place finish in the spring race last season, and posting a tenth-place finish in the 2006 edition of the Chase for the Nextel Cup. Despite going a lap down in the spring 2007 event at TMS, Hamlin and team rallied back for a ninth-place finish.
