It is now for back-to-back dnfs Denny Hamlin And there was nothing that he could do to avoid any one. Both issues were mechanical, out of the previous weekend in the Texas Motor Speedway and now in the Canasus Speedway on Sunday.
In Texas, number 11 which Gibbs Racing Toyota dramatically caught fire before the end of stage 1, as the engine was allowed to go. But in Canasus, it was a clutch issue that was provoking Hamlin. He needed a push start from his team every time, when he made a trip under The Pit Lane.
But during a round of the pit, Brad stops after the race-ending crash of Caselovsky.Hamlin’s car finally gave up as he tried to get it out of the box. The car crawled on a stop in the middle of the pit street and needed to push it behind the wall.
Connecting the insult to the injury, the pit stop ended the last one of the last one of the race. He had taken the car to a very end, completing around 267 laps. Hamlin was running third at that time, but ranked 36th in the 38-car region after Transaxal failed.

“Yes, I think the Transaxal eventually broke the transaxal trying to leave the stall,” Halin said back into the garage area. “Unfortunate for the progressive Toyota team. Really fast again – just can’t keep it together right now.”
The good news for Hamlin is that this year he already has two winning, which has safely closed him in the playoffs. But before issues in Texas and Kansas, Halin was enjoying an impressive run of 21 consecutive races, where he ended on the lead lap.
Additionally, back-to-back DNFS is something that Hemalin has not experienced since the 2013 season, but both of them were due to race-and debris (Kentaki and Detona).
