Hamlin Conversation – Las Vegas
Talk about your outlook going to Las Vegas…
“Las Vegas used to be a track that I really didn’t like. I just didn’t run well there. Since I’ve been paired up with Chris Gabehart, we’ve been really fast there and been in contention a lot. It’s obviously a great town to visit regardless, but I really do enjoy the track now that we’ve had some success. Last year, I felt like we had a car capable of winning in the spring and I made a mistake that cost us. Then, we were able to come back and get a good finish in the fall, so I feel confident about our chances this weekend.”
FedEx Express Along for the Ride at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: For Sunday’s race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the No. 11 FedEx Express Toyota Camry TRD will feature LAS on the b-post to recognize the more than 700 team members supporting the Las Vegas market.
