Hamlin?s Team Wins Pit Crew Challenge

By admin, 13 March, 2010, No Comment

At the Coca-Cola 600 held at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Denny Hamlin finished ninth after the grueling 600 miles of racing. During the latter stages of the race, Hamlin opted to go to the pit lane for fuel. This move cost him a possible top five finish since those who took the top four spots gambled and did not go into the pit lane to have their fuel topped up. While the ninth place finish is enough to keep Hamlin on the fourth spot at this season’s championship race, it was the job that his pit crew performed that drew some attention. His pit crew won the weekly Checkers/Rally’s Double Drive-Thru Challenge. The win by the pit crew moved them to the second spot overall for the entire season.

Hamilton said, “It was one of the toughest races I’ve ever done.” During a post-race interview he said, “This would definitely go down as my best win, not only because it was history and my home ground, but because I drove one of my best ever races.” Click to continue reading Lewis Hamilton Wins British Grand Prix
