Denny Hamlin, for one, was glad to be near the top of Friday’s NASCAR Cup practice speed chart and buoyed even more by seeing other Toyotas around him.
During much of last season, Toyotas struggled on shorter tracks, with Hamlin scoring the manufacturer’s only victory on an asphalt track a mile in length or less . The group, and Hamlin in particular, have had issues finding speed at Phoenix Raceway, which is especially important considering it’s the site of the annual series championship race. That’s why Hamlin – and Toyota’s – performance Friday was so uplifting.
“But anything that can allow us to run closer to each other, to cross each other’s wake without the air-blocking that we’ve seen over the last few weeks, I think that will be a good thing.” CLA DRIVER # MANUFACTURER LAPS TIME INTERVAL MPH 1 J.
