Through two NASCAR Cup Series playoff races, Denny Hamlin is two-for two….for two?. So we have opportunities to win races and get more playoff points and we’re not executing on that, which is where my frustrations come in.”. Going into the first playoff elimination race, Hamlin sits third on the playoff grid, 47 points above the cutline. “We go into the week believing that we’re locked in,” Hamlin said. So we’re gonna go in there like we’re locked in, and I’m gonna push as hard as I can to get a race win like I have been for the first couple of weeks.”. The 500-lap race will be the first for the Cup Series on the track’s concrete surface with the Next Gen car.
