Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards slowed by early pit-road speeding penalties at Martinsville

Denny Hamlin had an early setback at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday, getting a penalty for speeding on pit road.

His Joe Gibbs Racing teammate and fellow Round of 8 Chase for the Sprint Cup contender, Carl Edwards, was also caught speeding on the stop.

It's a penalty that Hamlin has battled throughout the season — this was his 10th speeding penalty of 2016. With additional timing lines on pit road, drivers have worked to adjust to managing pit road in recent races.
