Denny Hamlin will have to give up his fourth-place starting position for Sunday night’s Sprint Cup race after his team changed the engine in the No. 11 Toyota after Saturday’s first practice.

That’s the second change for a Toyota Racing Development engine this weekend. The engine in Brian Vickers’ No. 55 Camry was replaced before practice on Friday. Because of NASCAR’s one-engine rule, both Hamlin and Vickers will start from the rear in the AdvoCare 500.
