Daytona Recap: Hamlin finished 19th in Monday’s rain-delayed Daytona 500. After finishing third in his qualifying race, the three-time Daytona 500 ran solidly throughout the Great American Race and eventually found his way to the front on lap 152. He led 10 laps total – all during the final 50 laps of the race – before being collected in a multi-car accident on lap 192. The FedEx Racing team managed to keep the No. 11 Toyota Camry XSE in the race, albeit significantly hampered by damage, to finish 19th.
Atlanta Notes: The Chesterfield, Virginia native owns one NASCAR Cup Series victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway after winning at the 1.54-mile facility in 2012. Overall, Hamlin has tallied six top-five finishes and 10 top-10s in 27 career starts in Atlanta. Last March, he earned his best finish (sixth) in four starts since the track was reconfigured prior to the 2022 season.

Hamlin Conversation – Atlanta
What do you expect going back to Atlanta this weekend?
“It’s going to be another wild race like we’ve seen the past few years since they changed the track. For us, I feel like we’ve run well every time we’ve raced there with the Next Gen car, but we’ve gotten caught up in wrecks. If we can have a clean race, I’m optimistic about our chances. That has been easier said than done, so we’ll have to see how it plays out.”
FedEx Along for the Ride at Atlanta: For this weekend’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, the b-post of Hamlin’s No. 11 Camry will feature SCAL to recognize FedEx Ground’s Southern California district delivering an outstanding January in their area of service.
