In his ‘Action Detrimental’ podcast, Hamlin said, “I mean you could just see everyone’s car was on complete edge, we were all over the place and you couldn’t. We didn’t really run too wide that much just because the cars were so unstable by themselves, you know, in the pack.”

Despite the damage, Hamlin felt he could carry on, as there was uncertainty regarding the race’s stoppage timings. However, his crew chief, Chris Gabehart asked him to come to pit and change tires. Hamlin said, “I was actually debating and even thinking about Chris that should I even after I spun like I didn’t think my tires really hurt at all. I didn’t have any vibration. I was like, ‘Just stay out. Even though I wrecked just stay out, had enough fuel.’”

“But I thought the strategy might be just to stay put, get a track position right back where we were. But he [Chris] wanted to change tires because I did slide them for a certain amount of time to the asphalt there.”
