Denny Hamlin Faces Big Setback Ahead of Round of 12 Opener at Loudon

NASCAR suspended two members of Hamlin’s pit crew for two races for a wheel coming off the #11 car at Bristol. Hamlin’s right-front wheel dislodged on lap 384, and the #11 made contact with AJ Allmendinger, prompting a yellow flag. The JGR driver got a two-lap penalty and finished 31st. Hamlin is 26 points above the cutline.
