Hamlin Conversation – Phoenix
What is your outlook going to Phoenix this weekend?
“It’s definitely disappointing to not at least have a shot at the championship this weekend, but we’ve had a great season. I have an unbelievable team and we want to end the season on a high note. We still have the opportunity to finish in the top five in points for the fifth season in a row. That’s an accomplishment itself with the way this playoff format is and changing to the new car last season, so we do take pride in having that level of consistent performance.”
FedEx Along for the Ride at Phoenix Raceway: For this weekend’s race at Phoenix Raceway, Hamlin’s FedEx Toyota Camry TRD will feature FMYA on the b-post to recognize the station’s quick action and resilience during Hurricane Ian – a category-4 hurricane that devastated southwest Florida in September 2022. In the days and hours following the hurricane, the FMYA team worked quickly to deliver generators and hurricane supplies to many in need.
