Hamlin happy and last

Normally, a driver who finishes last in a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race, blows his engine and loses a spot in the standings would not have many nice things to say afterward.
Denny Hamlin is different.
Sure, he was that driver, finished last at Bristol, blew his engine midway through the race, fell from second to third in the Cup standings. But on a positive not, he locked up a spot in the Chase, and said he was excited about how his car ran in Saturday night's Bristol race.
"Yeah, we can get over it real fast," said Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing. "I'm excited about this and how well we ran because I really didn't know what we were going to have going into today and for our car to perform the way it did was amazing. I couldn't be happier to drive it. I could just go anywhere I wanted to with the thing and it would go so I tell you, this is going to be tough there at the end."
