Probably not, but here’s some words to that effect anyway…

For the first time in his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career Denny Hamlin is on the outside of the Chase looking in. While the two-time New Hampshire race winner isn’t in a position to seek the championship title, expect him to be gunning for the win this Sunday in the SYLVANIA 300. In 15 starts at the 1.058-mile speedway, Hamlin has captured two victories and three runner-up finishes, including a win in this event last season.
