Denny Hamlin Thinks He Would Not Have Won Cup Title Last Year Even in the Chase Format

"I had multiple blown engines in the playoffs last year. Those are the things the champion will not have," said Hamlin, who lost the title to Kyle Larson. The JGR driver insists multiple DNFs can only be overcome by winning "lots of races", something he couldn't do. Hamlin feels the Chase will benefit the "top six or seven" consistent drivers.
