Q. Did you get set to start pushing a little bit too early at the end of the race? What was the difference?
DENNY HAMLIN: Just do what I'm told: Don't run when I'm not supposed to run, run when I'm supposed to run. The result is we pitted on the last lap for three weeks in a row. That's tough. I mean, I hate seeing the white coming to pit road. It's just so frustrating.
Fuel mileage has got us the last two weeks. Lug nuts the week before. We're running fast. We're getting a little better. I think overall we had a little bit more speed this weekend than what we've had the past few weeks.
Yeah, can't see the checkered right now.
Q. You're the only one who ultimately had to pit with a lap or two to go. Give us a sense what that challenge is like.
DENNY HAMLIN: I mean, you're trying to win or you're trying to get the best finish that you can. But ultimately we just didn't save enough. The 18 I think came in and got topped off because he had transmission issues. That was essentially the race.
