Denny Hamlin‘s Coke Zero Sugar 400 run has gone from bad to worse. Hamlin, involved in the 12-car wreck on Lap 27, blew a right front tire on Lap 108 and hit the outside wall at Daytona International Speedway.
Hamlin limped around the track, shedding debris behind him. A frustrated Hamlin engaged in a heated back-and-forth on radio with crew chief Chris Gayle.
“I can’t turn the car! I can’t turn it!” Hamlin said.
Gayle called on Hamlin to go to the garage so they could observe what went wrong. Hamlin was adamant that he wanted to come down pit road and put on tires to avoid going more than one lap down.
“Just get the tire on it so I don’t go another f*cking lap down,” Hamlin said. That prompted this response back from Gayle: “We’ll put a tire on it, but we have to know what the f*ck is wrong with it, Denny.”
