Denny Hamlin Rejects ‘Must-Win’ Tag for 23XI at Kansas

“Must-win is when you’re 30 points out going into the last race,” said Hamlin, downplaying urgency for Wallace and Reddick despite P21 and P23 at Loudon. Both sit 20-plus points below the cut, but Hamlin stressed a strong Kansas run could flip their chances as they try to qualify for the next round: “One 50-point day and you’re right back.”
