Hamlin: Joe Gibbs Racing still the team to beat

NASCAR Nextel Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin said his Joe Gibbs Racing team has the best Cars of Tomorrow.
But Hendrick Motorsports has won the first three races with NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow.
Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 Chevrolet, finished third in the Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway. Jeff Gordon, a driver for Hendrick Motrorsports, won the Phoenix race. But Hamlin said Joe Gibbs Racing is still the team to beat in the Car of Tomorrow.
"Without a doubt," Hamlin said. "Every time I've lost the lead, it's been in the pit. So, you know, we should have three trophies at Gibbs right now. My credit goes to Hendrick. Those guys capitalize. They do what they have got to do to win races. They catch breaks when they need them, and we just can't seem to catch a break."
Hamlin said it's very frustrating that passing during a race in the Cars of Tomorrow is as difficult as it is.
"You know, it's hard for me to complain and people will say, but you went from the back to the front," Hamlin said.
"But yeah, it took us 300 laps to do it when it shouldn't have. Our car was just that much better than everyone else's. It shouldn't have took that long. We got some long runs in there that played in our factor, in our benefit.
I don't know; I don't know how we're going to run these cars on bigger tracks without changes."
