Denny Hamlin, Driver of the No. 18 Sport Clips Toyota GR Supra

What makes the Xfinity Series race at Darlington so fun for you?

“Darlington is just an awesome racetrack. On top of that, the Xfinity cars are so much fun to drive with the low downforce and you’re racing in the afternoon, so the track is hot and slick. It’s a lot of fun as a driver. Beyond that, it’s a big weekend for Sport Clips. They’ve been a great supporter of JGR and this race at Darlington for a long time, so it definitely adds some pressure to try to get the Sport Clips car in victory lane at the Sport Clips race.”
