Denny Hamlin spoke about the news he will be swapping pit crews with his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch – a move made by the team in advance of Sunday’s race. Hamlin said two of the “new” pit crew members were on his team last year, so there is a bit of familiarity.
“We don’t enter the box that differently, when you think about what could be the variation between me and Kyle the way we enter the box is pretty similar so I think it should be pretty seamless for everyone,’’ Hamlin said.
“It’s certainly tough for those guys (the pit crew he started the season with),’’ he continued. “I hate it because I love their attitude, swagger all that about my 11 -team. Certainly, they are as important to this championship run as anyone.
“But we had to do something different. … this was kind of a JGR decision and they felt like this was the best avenue to getting the quickest results in the shortest amount of time, just replacing an entire team rather than one person or another.’’
