TALLADEGA --- Denny Hamlin’s approach to Talladega Superspeedway was not sexy. And he was apologetic. Hamlin hung out in the back of the field and avoided Sunday’s last-lap crash to come home with a clean car and a 14th place finish. With the finish, Hamlin preserves his hopes as a contender in the Chase for the Sprint Cup sitting third, 23 points behind leader Brad Keselowski.
