NASCAR Cup Series Brickyard 400 Presented By PPG Entry List: Dates, Event Times At Indianapolis Motor Speedway

NASCAR Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin failed to outrun Ryan Blaney during the final laps of Sunday’s event at a track he generally dominates.

As a seven-time winner at Pocono Raceway, Hamlin finished The Great American Getaway 400 Presented by VisitPA.com in second place, highlighted by passing Alex Bowman with seven laps to go. Last year, he visited Victory Lane, but the runner-up spot and Stage 2 win helped the No. 11 Toyota team snap a slump.

“We were in such a terrible slump,” Hamlin told NBC Sports. “We were terrible for a month and a half or so in our finishes, not in our performance. Feels good to have at least a solid day leaving here.

“I only care about winning, but still, this kind of rebound is something that at least makes you feel a little better.”

Beginning at Sonoma Raceway (June 9) and ending at Chicago Street Race (July 7), Hamlin’s average finish was 25.6.

Entering next Sunday’s return event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Hamlin’s crew chief, Chris Gabehart, said the team is becoming playoff-ready following its five-week slide. Hamlin seeks his first Brickyard 400 trophy.

“Yeah, it’s a big deal to your point,” Gabehart told NASCAR.com. “We’ve had a lot of struggles — and everyone does. But with results, we should have quite a few more points in the bucket than we do at this point. So to take a big chunk out of the points lead, have a solid day heading into, in the 11 car’s opinion, probably the most important race of the year — the Brickyard at Indy is a big one for us now that it’s back on the oval. To try to get that last major for Denny, carrying a lot of momentum into that race is a big deal.”
