Hamlin Conversation – Bristol
What is your outlook going to Bristol this weekend?
“We have a lot of confidence going into this weekend. We feel good about the position we’re in, so I don’t think our approach will change at all. There are seven playoff points up for grabs, so our goal is to go there, qualify up front and put ourselves in position to win stages and have a shot to win the race. If we can do that, the other stuff will take care of itself.”
