Hamlin says exhaust leak contibuted to dehydration: #11-Denny Hamlin fell ill in his car late during the Coke 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway last weekend. He was taken to the infield care center after the race and treated for dehydration. Friday at Dover, he was asked about the incident:
What happened with the dehydration you experienced last weekend in Charlotte?
Hamlin: “We also had an exhaust leak in the car. We blew a hole in our header and exhaust system that was leaking in the car. That didn’t help at all either. We were also running the XFINITY race the day before — we’re not doing that this week. You just have to be prepared. I felt like I kept up with my fluids pretty well last week, but obviously it wasn’t enough. I’ve got to go above and beyond. The conditions and the car didn’t make things very easy for me. The headache had nothing to do with the dehydration. The migraine that I suffered, what I felt like, was from the exhaust inside the car.”(Toyota Racing)(5-30-2015)
