And this year, even though he’s one of the favorites to win the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series title, Hamlin has been dealing with a painful shoulder issue, a torn labrum, that will require surgery at the end of the season. “It really hasn’t limited me, to be honest with you,” said Hamlin, who is second in the playoff standings, 24 points ahead of fifth-place Kevin Harvick, the first driver below the cut line in the Round of 8. “It’s uncomfortable while sleeping. I can’t sleep on that side, but it really hasn’t limited me, to be honest. I got a cortisone shot in it, which really, really helped.
“As you look at it, I feel like it is one of the reasons our team is still in it. I don’t feel like we’ve had that knockout speed that the Gibbs cars have had on a week-to-week basis. We have had it a few times and been able to capitalize on that, but I feel like we’ve done a good job minimizing the mistakes, and we have three more weeks to do that.
