DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Denny Hamlin was among those who criticized NASCAR for not calling a caution for rain before several cars lost traction and wrecked Sunday at Daytona International Speedway.
The race was stopped after 139 of 160 laps when 11 cars were collected in a crash as the field slid through Turn 1 and bounced off each other.
Hamlin was leading when he lost traction and took several hard hits.
Asked what could be done to avoid a situation like that, Hamlin said: “Better officiating, that’s all we can do … we’ll learn from this, I’m sure.
