2012 Phoenix Denny Hamlin On TrackProbably 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.

Engine troubles ended Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Joey Logano’s night early at Chicagoland. Logano bowed out on lap 175 (37th) while Earnhardt stopped running after lap 224 (35th), dropping the two drivers to 12th and 13th in the standings. While there might be some cause for alarm, they should find solace in that in 2006 Jimmie Johnson finished the first Chase race 39th and fell to ninth in the standings only to rebound to capture his first title.
