“You saw Joey kind of play some games at the end of the stage. You don’t want to lap the 12-car. Because he knew he was going to need them at the end of the race. That was so smart…”
He further added, “but it was so smart and strategic because he kept one of his allies in the race, right? Someone that he knows that when he’s behind them, he’s going to push them no matter where he goes.”
“And so they just do an extremely good job of working together and you see the results of it. That’s just a fact,” Hamlin concluded.
