00:00For Denny Hamlin, can you describe the level of frustration with what happened today, Denny?
00:05No, I mean, yeah, it's just a couple races where, you know, things out of your control
00:10just didn't go well.
00:12Yeah, I mean, the first lap, I mean, you know, certainly I got to take responsibility for
00:20what I did on Saturday, which is not qualifying well, right?
00:23So that's on me, and certainly that put us right in the middle of where wrecks usually
00:28happen, and we got shoved into it.
00:30Yeah, so let's talk about Bristol coming up next week, minus six below the cut line, clearly
00:34not a must-win scenario at all, but what's the confidence level knowing you've won, number
00:38one, back-to-back races, but number two, how good you guys were on the tire there in the
00:42spring?
00:43We'll be fine.
00:44I have no doubts that we're going to be good and up front and control our own destiny.
00:49Have you ever been through a stretch like this in your career, Denny, especially in
00:52the playoffs?
00:53No, not really, but we haven't really had tracks like this in the playoffs for the most
00:56part.
00:57You know, you've got road courses and super speedways and a lot of them, but you don't
01:02have as many in the playoffs as what we have this year, so it's just banking for a lot
01:07of attrition and certainly, you know, some good cars there below the cut line that likely
01:13will get eliminated.
