He only completed 15 laps and was renounced to position 38 in the Würth 400.
“It only exploded,” Hamlin told Fox Sports.
Hamlin said he tried to prevent the engine from blowing completely so that the members of his crew take a look and discover what exactly came out.

The Toyota pilot has gathered another solid season in the first 10 races of the year. He entered Fort Worth in third place in the classification of points behind leaders William Byron and Kyle Larson. I was just 52 byron points.
But Sunday's accident will definitely not give him the opportunity to jump in front of any of the drivers in front of him. Chase Elliott was only 20 points from Hamlin and Christopher Bell had a 30 -point deficit.
Hamlin has two victories this season, five finals of the first five and six Top 10.
