Hamlin said in victory lane that winning the race "feels great. I'll tell you, our cars were really running well. Wheels and the whole group just gave me a great car. Really got it tuned in there the last half of the race. Just good restarts, finally everything just kind of worked well for us all day. I didn't think staying out was the right thing to do, but great call there, and actually, I got this from one of our Toyota guests on his birthday day today. He gave me this. He said it helped him get through tough times, so kept that in the car, and thank Eli for that."White Tucker Hamlin survives wreckfest regular season finale to win at Richmon http://www.speedwaymedia.com/?p=114951 SpeedwayMedia.com USA Today Sports Digital Properties September 14, 2016 Richmond, Virginia September 10, 2016
