Denny Hamlin, a veteran driver for Joe Gibbs Racing, is known for his memorable quotes. During the qualifying for the Bristol Cup race, Hamlin had some humorous explanations for the grip issue caused by the new resin on the track. He suggested that the Goodyear tire compound may be to blame for the incidents, using the analogy of someone urinating on them. Despite the challenging conditions, Hamlin found the experience fun.
Several drivers on the track had different opinions on the grip issue, but in the end, they all managed to complete their flying laps and achieve good qualifying times. The reigning champion secured the pole position, while Hamlin also secured a good start among the top ten.
The walls of Bristol Motor Speedway were painted black and red, a positive change according to Hamlin. He believes this will allow drivers to race closer to the wall, as they now have a better view of the track.
Hamlin is determined to secure his first victory of the 2024 season in Bristol. After winning the unofficial season opener in Los Angeles, he has been facing challenges. With the dominant performance of the Toyotas in Phoenix last weekend, Hamlin hopes to capitalize on the momentum gained.
