Denny Hamlin crashes during Las Vegas test session

id315IxyOMRj
While most drivers, especially Dale Earnhardt Jr., had positive reviews for the new low downforce package used last weekend at Atlanta, the question remains as to how it will fare in Vegas.

Just under an hour into the second Sprint Cup test session at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin crashed his No. 11 Toyota.

Hamlin had the second-fastest speed of the session prior to the one-car accident at 189.129 mph. He had the second best speed in the first session, which lasted two hours.

The No. 11 team will have to go to a backup car for the rest of the weekend as they prepare for Sunday’s Kobalt 400.

The second test session is scheduled to last three hours.
