News and Notes
Oct 28
This week: Hamlin has no wins, two top-five finishes and no other top-10ss in seven starts at Talladega. He was 39th last fall and 22nd in April.
Last week: Hamlin scored his second consecutive win in his home state of Virginia when he won at Martinsville for the second time. He also drove to victory at Richmond in September. "It feels great to get three wins this season -- more than we've had in any other season. This is the best we've been. It's just a shame our Chase has gone so bad," he said.
Etc.: Hamlin is hopeful that a strong finish to the 2009 season will help erase his poor start to the Chase. "We don't have any weak spots anymore in our race team, and I feel like that's how I figured I could say that I knew we were going to win another race regardless," Hamlin said. "Even last week after our troubles, I said we're going to win another race, because every single week, whether it is a superspeedway, a short track or intermediate (track), we can win. Obviously, when you put yourself in position like we have over the last few weeks, you're going to win races. It's just great to have that feeling, able to go to a race track and know that you can win no matter what type of race track that you're on. I just had a lot of confidence in the team, and I knew if we just got past a few hurdles here and there, had some good stops at the end of the races, then we would win. Obviously, it came true."
