Running Their Mouth: TUMS Fast Relief 500

Each week, we’ll go through media reports, interviews, PR, and all of our own stuff to find the best quotes from the Sprint Cup race, capturing the story of how the weekend unfolded. It’s the most original commentary you’ll ever find: the truth, coming straight out of the mouths of the drivers, crew members, and car owners themselves. This week, here’s a sneak peek at what they all were thinking following the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway: “It’s a good bounce back. I just gotta thank all my fans for sticking with me on Twitter and everything, giving me some hope that the last two weeks were in the past. I knew all those guys were going to be aggressive to try to get a win. We just had the best car there at the end. The 48 (Jimmie Johnson) didn’t do anything that he shouldn’t have and made sure he protected his points lead. He gave us a little bit of respect as well.” Denny Hamlin
